A ghost is an apparition of a person, now deceased, that manifests itself as an animated being. Most cultures have paranormal phenomena of their own that have been absorbed into their mythology stretching back through time. This book examines many of the classic cases of hauntings around the world. It discusses the ghostly tales of kings, queens, nobles, murderers and their victims, and the real story behind "The Exorcist." The spooky narrative reveals the ghostly phenomena connected with more modern celebrities, from James Dean to Elvis Presley. Readers will meet chilly apparitions of ghost animals, inanimate objects, and haunted places including houses and shopping malls. The narrative is supported by dozens of illustrations and photographs.
