Book Description

September 1, 2006
Take a walk on the wild side . . .

It's well known that humans aren't the only creatures whose disembodied spirits can remain earthbound after death. For centuries, ghostly animal apparitions have returned from far beyond the grave to warn of danger, comfort a bereaved owner--even to seek revenge against those who have mistreated them.

Phantom Felines and Other Ghostly Animals features the best true stories from all over the world, presenting a chilling picture of the many animal spirits that still walk among the living. Some of the tales here will send you to sleep with the lights on, others will warm your heart and put a smile on your face, and still others can only be described as completely bizarre. Many feature cats, which will not surprise anyone who has ever owned one of these mysterious creatures. There is the phantom tabby that routinely haunts a paneled first-floor lecture room of a restored Tudor mansion in Somerset, England. The ghostly cat once made a particularly memorable appearance during a crowded lecture when it entered the room, sat down, curled its tail around its paws--and, like a wisp of smoke, vanished into thin air, giving the crowd quite a shock.

From cats to dogs to horses, birds, and even wild animals, the true tales in this unusual book will give you a glimpse into a world that is much closer than you ever realized. So whether you are a devoted pet owner, just love a good ghost story, or maybe even have seen a long-departed animal skulking around, Phantom Felines and Other Ghostly Animals is sure to chill and delight.

Gerina Dunwich's books include Your Magickal Cat, Wicca Candle Magick, Wicca A to Z, and The Modern Witch's Complete Sourcebook. She is a spiritualist medium and professional astrologer, and is actively involved in paranormal research and the investigation of ghosts and hauntings.

More About the Author

Gerina Dunwich (b. December 27, 1959, Illinois, United States) is a professional astrologer, occult historian, and New Age author, best known for her books on Wicca and various occult subjects. She is also involved in paranormal research and is the founder of the Paranormal Animal Research Group, which investigates cases of alleged hauntings by animal spirits.

Her first newspaper article (co-written with her cousin, Barbara Williams) was published in October 1976. It was an interview with singer/songwriter Jim Peterik from the local Chicago band, the Ides of March (and later, Survivor). By the spring of 1980 Dunwich was publishing a small press literary journal called Golden Isis, a one-woman operation that specialized in Goddess-inspired poetry and off-beat fiction.

In December 1993 she moved to Fort Covington, Franklin County, New York, where she opened a small shop on High Street called "The Country Witch" (later renamed "The Calico Cat Whatnot Shop"), which sold antiques, curios and various occult supplies. She officially established Coven Mandragora on Candlemas 1996 and served as its High Priestess. That same year she established the Wheel of Wisdom School (an educational organization offering correspondence courses on the sabbats) and the Pagan Poets Society (a literary circle for writers and publishers of Pagan poetry), along with a local networking organization known as North Country Wicca. In February of 1998 she received a ministerial license from the Universal Life Church. Dunwich is also the founder of the Bast-Wicca tradition.

A respected spokesperson for the Wiccan/Pagan community, Dunwich has been a guest on numerous radio talk shows throughout the United States and Canada. She has lectured and presented workshops at festivals and gatherings across the country, such as the CraftWise Pagan Gathering (Waterbury, Connecticut), the Real Witches' Ball (Columbus, Ohio), and Panpipes' Pagan Day Festival (West Hollywood, California).

A member of the Fellowship of Isis, Circle, the Pagan Poets Society, the Authors Guild, and the Authors League of America, Dunwich's biography is listed in a number of reference works, such as Who's Who in the East, Personalities of America, The Wicca Source Book, The Modern Witch's Complete Sourcebook, and Crossroads: Who's Who of the Magickal Community (published by The Witching Well Education and Research Center, 1988). She is also mentioned in Anne Carson's Goddesses and Wise Women (The Crossing Press, 1992) and other works. Her articles, poetry, and reviews have appeared in numerous publications, including Playgirl, American Woman, Magical Blend, Sage Woman, Circle Network News, and Pagan Free Press.

Gerina Dunwich lives in Western New York, where she owns and operates an antique shop. She is currently working on a new book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phantom Felines and Other Ghostly Animals, October 29, 2006
This review is from: Phantom Felines And Other Ghostly Animals (Paperback)
If you're an animal lover who enjoys reading ghost stories, then this is the book for you. It is packed with true tales of the supernatural involving cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and other pets returning from beyond the grave. The author, a paranormal investigator, begins the book with a chapter that discusses: Haunted Places, Earthbound Spirits and Spectral Sightings, Animal Sensitivity to Hauntings, Animal Hauntings vs. Human Hauntings, Communicating with Four-Legged Ghosts, and Residual Hauntings. This section also contains an interesting 7-page interview with [...] founder, Jeff Belanger. The chapters that follow - Phantom Felines; Hounds and Hauntings; Other Ghostly Animals - are basically a compilation of nearly 90 true animal ghost stories contributed by people from all walks of life. Some of the stories are creepy, while others tug at the heart strings and remind us that even in death our beloved pets are still around us. Gerina Dunwich also shares with the reader a few of her own strange experiences with phantom cats, horse-drawn carriages and bats, and also includes a number of legends and documented cases, such as the Legend of Black Shuck, the Spectral Ape of Athelhampton House, the Ballechin House Hauntings, and the Ghost Cat of King John's Hunting Lodge. This is a perfect book to read on a dark stormy night and is suitable for readers of all ages. I give it a full 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars absolutely terrible drivel, March 1, 2009
This review is from: Phantom Felines And Other Ghostly Animals (Paperback)
If you're expecting a book about animal ghost-related folklore that is more general and somewhat based in history (such as ghost dog stories of the British Isles), don't get this book. If you want lots of poorly-written, sappy personal accounts of people thinking their dead cat jumps on their bed at night, then this is the book for you.
