Item #676

The Unexplained: Ghosts and the Supernatural, Colin Wilson, 1998, photos, index, 37 pp NOW OUT OF PRINT. ASK US TO FIND YOU A NICE USED COPY.

A quickie look at hauntings, ghosts, vampires, and other supernatural beings. Lots of good photos, but not a lot of depth: most cases are only a paragraph or two. Kind of a "My Big Golden Book® of Ghosts." The singing ghost of Raffles Hotel, Singapore; Marilyn Monroe’s haunted mirror. A spectral skeleton photographed in a car involved in a terrifying crash. Ghost-detecting equipment and types of ghosts.

Item #285

The Usborne Book of the Haunted World, Caroline Young, 1995, illustrations with a few photos, picture maps, 48 pp $8.95

I fell in love with this oversize (8.5 x 12") book at first sight. Lots of colorful illustrations and some unusual cases. Arranged by category and country--over 50 tales from around the world. Royal phantoms, ghostly battles, messages from the dead, spooks at sea and more. The ghostly cat who appeared in his master's photograph. A phantom climber who left a prophetic message about a doomed Everest expedition. A mysterious guest at a party in Finland.

Item #286

Usborne Hotshots, Ghosts, 1995, line art, index, 31 pp $2.95

The perfect pumpkin- or stocking-stuffer. Quick takes on ghosts around the world as well as famous spirits like Napoleon's ghost, some of Henry VIII's wives at Hampton Court, poltergeists, haunted ships, famous haunted houses, How to Draw Ghosts. Just a tiny bit of overlap with the other two Usborne books.

Item #287

Usborne World of the Unknown: Ghosts, 1995, photos, line art, index, 32 pp $6.95

Sections on a dictionary of ghostlore, clever fakes, ghost stories explained. I enjoyed the photo spread on the ghosts of Pluckley, reputedly Britain's most haunted village. Other unique ghosts: the spirit of Pancho Villa, Tom Colley, hung and rotted in a gibbet, who now haunts the crossroad as a black dog. Contains a little bit of the material from the Usborne Book of the Unknown World, but not much.

Item #679

Velcome! A very scary book, Kevin O’Malley, 1997, illus., 24 pp $16.95

A very silly book of bad jokes and shaggy ghost stories. I loved every terrible pun and there were some real groaners here. The copyright page has a sign that reads, "WARNING!!! This is the most intelligent part of this whole book." Believe it. Absolutely perfect for storytelling at sleepovers/campouts since the stories are short and easily memorized.
