DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores Victorian and modernist haunted houses in female-authored ghost stories as representations of the architectural uncanny. It reconsiders the gendering of the supernatural in terms of unease, denial, disorientation, confinement and claustrophobia within domestic space. Drawing on spatial theory by Gaston Bachelard, Henri Lefebvre and Elizabeth Grosz, it analyses the reoccupation and appropriation of space by ghosts, women and servants as a means of addressing the opposition between the past and modernity. The chapters consider a range of haunted spaces, including ancestral mansions, ghostly gardens, suburban villas, Italian churches and houses subject to demolition and ruin. The ghost stories are read in the light of women’s non-fictional writing on architecture, travel, interior design, sacred space, technology, the ideal home and the servant problem. Women writers discussed include Elizabeth Gaskell, Margaret Oliphant, Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, May Sinclair and Elizabeth Bowen. This book will appeal to students and researchers in the ghost story, Female Gothic and Victorian and modernist women’s writing, as well as general readers with an interest in the supernatural.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Haunting of Hillside Manor: A Terror Beyond Imagination For decades, the old asylum on the grounds of Hillside Manor has been the subject of local legends and tales of horror. And when the Johnsons move into the old mansion, they soon discover that the legends are far more than just stories. As they settle into their new home, the Johnsons begin to experience strange occurrences, from objects moving on their own to whispers and moans in the night. And as the haunting grows more intense, they know that they are facing a force more powerful than they have ever encountered before. Desperate to find a way to rid themselves of the malevolent energy, the Johnsons call upon the help of local experts, from paranormal investigators to music experts, to help them understand the dark history of their home and banish the spirits that seek to claim it as their own. But as they delve deeper into the history of Hillside Manor, the Johnsons uncover a truth that is far stranger and more terrifying than anything they could have imagined. From the cursed history of the asylum to the possessed artifacts that litter their home, they are forced to confront the darkest corners of the human experience, and the malevolent forces that seek to claim their souls. As they fight to reclaim their home from the forces of darkness, the Johnsons must summon all their courage, faith, and determination to overcome the horrors that lurk within the walls of Hillside Manor. They will face their worst fears, confront the demons of their past, and ultimately emerge victorious, proving that the power of love and the human spirit is stronger than any force of darkness. With spine-tingling suspense and unforgettable characters, The Haunting of Hillside Manor is a thrilling tale of horror, mystery, and redemption, a story that will leave readers breathless until the very last page.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere has been an upsurge in books, television programmes, films and websites exploring the reality or otherwise of the spirit world. Not since the founding of The Ghost Club in 1862 and the Society for Psychical Research in 1882 has ghost hunting been so popular. Television and the internet, in particular, have fueled this new level of interest, creating a modern media phenomenon that spans the globe. But while the demand for information is high, good information remains scarce. A Brief Guide to Ghost Hunting leads us through the process of ghost hunting, from initially weighing the first report, to choosing equipment, and investigating and identifying the phenomena, with an analysis of the best places to go looking, methods of contacting the spirit world, how to explain paranormal activity and, crucially, how to survive the encounter. However, it is also a book about ghost hunting itself, drawing on 130 years of research in the cavernous archives of the Society for Psychical Research and even older history to find the earliest ghost stories. A Ghost Hunting Survey makes use of interviews with those billing themselves as ghost hunters to find out their views, motivations and experiences. New and original research makes use of statistics to map the nebulous world of apparitions while a Preliminary Survey of Hauntings offers an analysis of 923 reported phenomena from 263 locations across the UK. This is, as far as possible, an objective presentation of ghosts and ghost hunting. It is no wonder that mainstream science largely refuses to deal with the subject: it is too complicated. Without trying to convince you of any viewpoint, this book is intended to help you understand more.
