| Ghosts, Kevin Osborn, 1996, illus., 128 pp $4.99 |
|
| This teeny-tiny book (1 ¾ inches by 2 ¼ inches) is so
adorable, we just sit here all day going, "Awwww… Isn’t it cute?"
The contents are almost irrelevant, but if it matters, this lavishly illustrated tiny tome
covers pretty standard spooks: Anne Boleyn in the Tower, Lincoln’s ghost in the White
House, The Flying Dutchman, different types of ghosts, ways ghosts haunt, celebrations for
the Dead. It's even got a dust-jacket. Perfect for your haunted dollhouse. |

| Where Dead Men
Walk, Vol. 1, Patty A. Wilson, 2001,
photos, 138 pp, $15.95 |
|
| Another winning ghost book from Wilson, this time not just
from her native Pennsylvania, but from all across the globe. The chorus of demonic voices
that came for a haunted man. A balding ghost at the Willow Saloon, Oprah’s haunted
studio, the ghost of poor Phyllis Parker at
the Vealtown Tavern where she discovered her dead lover in a coffin downstairs, the
multiple ghosts of Van Buren Bed & Breakfast, which were so stirred up by the
owner’s ghost tour, that she has forever banned ouija boards, seances, and psychics
from the premises! |

| The World of
Ghosts and the Supernatural, the Occult, the Unexplained, and the Mystical Around the
Globe, Richard Cavendish, 1994, photos, $22.95 HB |
|
| A large-format book with loads of color pictures. This book
isn’t all ghosts—many other subjects are covered—vampires, ghouls and all
kinds of magical and superrnatural practices, but I include it because it covers area
neglected by other books: Asia, the Pacific, Africa, South America. President Paasikivi
of Finland, seen in 1957 in an apartment house elevator by two witnesses—four months
after his death. A hairy creature with six-inch claws that mutilated members of a
Brazilian family. The mysterious "min-min lights" of Australia. |
