Real Ghost Stories!-How can there be real ghost stories when there are no real ghosts? But are there no real ghosts? You may not have seen one, but it does not follow that therefore they do not exist. How many of us have seen the microbe that kills? There are at least as many persons who testify they have seen apparitions as there are men of science who have examined the microbe. You and I, who have seen neither, must perforce take the testimony of others. The evidence for the microbe may be conclusive, the evidence as to apparitions may be worthless; but in both cases it is a case of testimony, not of personal experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended,
By
This review is from: Real Ghost Stories (Paperback)
Most of the events in this book occurred more than a hundred years ago. Collecting them in this volume provides a very reliable historical reference for this type of phenomena. The author has done a good job of recounting the details of these events. One major feature of this book is that the author not only provides a narration of these events but also tries to explain them based on the current theories of the unconscious. This book is highly recommended for researchers in the field of psychic phenomena. It has a whole chapter on the thought-body or the double of living people. The Appendix contains a large list of famous ghosts in history. It is a pleasure for me to publish this book in this new, high quality, and affordable edition. This review applies to the $ 14.95 edition.

This review is from: Real Ghost Stories (Kindle Edition)
The kindle edition is a re-arranged and introduced by Estelle Stead. In the intro they explain why they are re-issuing some of the wonderful stories of genuine psychic experiences that were collected by their father several years prior. The originals were published in 2 volumes in 1891-92 as Real Ghost Stories and More Ghost Stories.
Collected within this book are stories that have been gathered that discuss psychic phenomenon. It begins with discussing the ghost that dwells in each of us, then on to the thought body or the double, the vision of the out of sight, premonitions and second sight, ghosts of the living on business, and finally ghosts keeping promise. It is taken from the perspective of the times and Stead tries to conquer some thoughts and conjectures that try to oppose this type of phenomenon. This should be read by anyone wishing to either study or explore this field. Stead did a great job at collecting and even recounting them for everyone else to enjoy.

This review is from: Real Ghost Stories (Kindle Edition)
The book did not keep my interest. It bounced around from subject to subject. I plan on finishing the book just because that is me however is going to take me awhile.
