Haunted Alcatraz: A History of La Isla de los Alcatraces and Guide to Paranormal Activity [Paperback]

Robert James Wlodarski (Author), Anne N. Wlodarski (Author), Michael J. Kouri (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1998

Welcome to Haunted Alcatraz! - or Hellcatraz as it was called by some inmates. Journey through the now deserted corridors of this world famous penitentiary. Visit the cells which once held America's Most Wanted criminals. The history does not begin or end with the use of Alcatraz as a prison and penitentiary... for it was known to Native Americans and avoided as a place that contained evil spirits. The energy of those who came to The Rock and never left still remains for visitors to see, feel, and hear. Ghostly manifestations and paranormal sightings have occurred since it was used as a defensive fortification in the 1850s. The pain, isolation, punishment, and resulting deaths appear to have been indelibly etched in its walls, cells, and corridors of this legendary prison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Haunted House reading at it's BEST!, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Haunted Alcatraz: A History of La Isla de los Alcatraces and Guide to Paranormal Activity (Paperback)

This is One Haunted House book carefully written with accuracy for the intent of education as well as entertainment.

Fantastic pictures document insightful accounts of life on Alcatraz from it's first discovery through the Civil War years, the penetentiary years to present day.

Just as attending Mr. Kouri's lectures, reading Haunted Alcatraz will expand your conseption of the Supernatural through the integrity and professionalizm of a True Parapsychologist.

Haunted Alcatraz teaches one not to fear Ghosts, rather to learn from their existance in an effort of guidance towards final peace.

Haunted Alcatraz isn't just another book about creeking floors, flying objects and poltergeist activities, but a comprehensive study about the past and the present through personal true to life accounts.

Highly recommended. Leota Adams Dean of Studies British Parapsychological Academy of London
