Ghosts - Paul Roland

Ghosts and spirits inhabit the world around us. We can hear and see them if we are only sensitive - or psychic - enough to be aware of them.Re-examining a fascinating assortment of recorded sightings from as far back as Roman times, the author presents a serious look at ghosts, not as chain-rattling spooks, but as actual entities with which we share a greater reality.Nor does he accept that ghosts are merely the spirits of departed people, or energies left behind. Uniquely, Paul Roland provides self-tested evidence on the idea of spirits as the manifestation of people still living, proving that out-of-body experiences are not as rare - or as impossible - as some people might think.The result is a profoundly fascinating, thought-provoking book that will challenge your beliefs as never before.

Possessed by Ghosts - Wanda Pratnicka

The book is aimed at all readers not just those who are interested in the esoteric. It introduces accessibly and surprisingly clearly the causes of the toxic relationships that arise between people and ghosts. It contains a large dose of psychology of the soul, testimony to the author s spiritual maturity.Ghosts are the souls of people who, after the death of their physical body, have not resolved to pass through to the other side of death s curtain. The reason for that is that, for various reasons, they overlooked their own deaths, didn t have the courage to go through to the other side or were detained or even pulled away from their road by those mourning the souls of their near ones. When they remain in the world of the living they possess people which can be the cause of very unpleasant and sometimes even tragic experiences. Starting with the mildest -- the presence of ghosts in a person causes severe mood swings ranging from powerful explosions of negative energy to deep depressions. They bring out severe states of anxiety, they tempt those possessed to commit suicide, they have a powerful influence on the psyche and are the cause of psychiatric illnesses.In addition, the diseases of the dead person very often transfer through the ghost to the person possessed. Wanda Pratnicka is an exorcist and psychotherapist of world renown. Over the past thirty years she has helped many thousands of patients throughout the world.

We Are All Ghosts in the Forest - Lorraine Wilson

When the internet collapsed, it took the world with it, leaving its digital ghosts behind – and they are hungry. Former photojournalist Katerina fled the overrun cities to the relative safety of her grandmother’s village on the edge of a forest, where she lives a solitary life of herbal medicine and beekeeping. When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won’t allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour. Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others – because the ghosts that follow her aren’t just digital.

Terrifying, spine-tingling and haunting, When Ghosts Call Us Home by Katya de Becerra is an edge-of-your-seat YA horror, perfect for fans of Kathyrn Foxfield. Never, ever look directly into the eyes of a ghost. Because once you see it, once you see her, once you acknowledge her impossible existence, you can never un-see it.And that s how she gets you. When Sophia Galich was twelve, she starred in her older sister Layla’s amateur horror movie Vermillion, which recorded raw footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted in their old Californian house on the coast – Cashore House. In the years after the film’s release, Sophia’s memories of the now-infamous house fueled her nightmares.Vermillion amassed an army of fanatical fans who speculated about the film’s hidden messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the devil – her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge.

Ghosts, A Public Enemy, When We Dead Wake - Henrik Ibsen

With three plays focusing on the family and how it struggles to stay together by telling lies - and exposing them, Henrik Ibsen s Ghosts and Other Plays is translated with an introduction by Peter Watts in Penguin Classics.In Ghosts, Osvald Alving returns home only to discover the truth about the father he always looked up to, and learns the horrific effect his father s debauchery has had on him. It was Ibsen s most provocative drama, stripping away the surface of a middle-class family to expose layers of hypocrisy and immorality. A Public Enemy sets two brothers against each other when one wishes to make public the facts about the polluted water in the public baths of their home town. And When We Dead Wake tells of an artist meeting an old lover by chance and rejecting his wife, in a symbolic exploration of Ibsen s own literary life and the sacrifices he made in his work.Peter Watts s translation maintains the colloquial tone of the original dialogue. He has also provided an introduction and notes on the texts.Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) turned to journalism and playwriting instead of pursuing a university career. Ibsen was one of the earliest writers to dramatise the individual s alienation from society. Although Ibsen was never fully appreciated during his lifetime, he has since come to be recognised as one of the great dramatists of all time and the Father of Modern Drama .If you enjoyed Ghosts, you might like Ibsen s A Doll s House and Other Plays, also available in Penguin Classics.

We Are All Ghosts in the Forest - Lorraine Wilson

Former photojournalist Katerina fled the overrun cities to the relative safety of her grandmother’s village on the edge of a forest, where she lives a solitary life of herbal medicine and beekeeping. When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won’t allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour. Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others – because the ghosts that follow her aren’t just digital.

Jungle Ghosts - Mann Ed

Experience the life and death struggle of close combat in thick jungle by a soldier who blended with the shadows and led the way into some of the most dangerous places in Vietnam. Jungle Ghosts is a gripping and evocative novel that immerses readers in the harrowing experiences of a soldier navigating the dense, perilous jungles of Vietnam. The author masterfully captures the essence of the environment, painting vivid pictures that transport readers back to 1969, a time marked by conflict and turmoil. From the very first page, the narrative pulls you in, allowing you to feel every step taken by the protagonist, Mann. The authorâ ™s attention to detail in describing the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle creates a palpable sense of place that is both haunting and beautiful. You can almost hear the rustling leaves, feel the humidity clinging to your skin, and sense the ever-present danger lurking in the shadows. The emotional depth of the characters is another standout aspect of the book. Mannâ ™s journey is not just a physical one; itâ ™s also a profound exploration of fear, camaraderie, and the psychological toll of war. The author skilfully weaves together moments of tension and introspection, allowing readers to connect with Mann on a personal level. You find yourself rooting for him, feeling his struggles, and celebrating his small victories. Jungle Ghosts is more than just a war story; itâ ™s a poignant reflection on the human experience in the face of adversity. The themes of survival, loss, and the search for meaning resonate deeply, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of war and its impact on the human spirit. In conclusion, Jungle Ghosts is a must-read for those who want to understand what it was like to be an 11Bravo grunt in Vietnam. Itâ ™s a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a vivid reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served. Highly recommended for both veterans and civilians alike, this book will leave a lasting impression long after the final page is turned. Larry Chambers - Author of Recondo and Death in the Ashaw Valley One of the most dangerous occupations during the Vietnam War was walking point, a role Ed Mann took on and specialized in. He served a tour of duty in Vietnam as an infantry soldier in the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division from June of 1969 to June of 1970. Mann was wounded several times, receiving several decorations including the Silver Star, while experiencing the extreme hardships of the war with his fellow soldiers. He would continue to walk point for his entire tour, becoming more like the jungle as the days turned into weeks and months. Mann acknowledges the way it was changing him during his time in Vietnam - I was repulsed by the senselessness and savagery of the war and I was saddened by the price it exacted but I was seduced by it too; proud to be performing an important role in a deadly fight for survival and lured by the adrenaline rushes. An intensely immersive, gritty, and tension-filled account of his experience that will transport you to the war in the jungle in a way that sets it apart from other Vietnam memoirs.

Tripping the Trail of Ghosts - P. D. Newman

Exploring psychedelic spiritual practices and afterlife beliefs among the Mississippi mound cultures• Examines the Path of Souls or Trail of Ghosts, a Native American model for the after-death journey• Demonstrates how psychoactive plants were used to evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys• Explores the symbology of the large earthwork mounds erected by the Indigenous people of the Mississippi Valley and how they connect to the Path of SoulsThe use of hallucinogenic substances like peyote and desert tobacco has long played a significant role in the spiritual practices and traditions of Native Americans. While the majority of those practices are well documented, the relationship between entheogens and Native Americans of the Southeast has gone largely unexplored.Examining the role of psychoactive plants in afterlife traditions, sacred rituals, and spirit journeying by shamans of the Mississippian mound cultures, P. D. Newman explores in depth the Native American death journey known as the Trail of Ghosts or Path of Souls. He demonstrates how practices such as fasting and trancework when used with psychedelic plants like jimsonweed, black nightshade, morning glory, and amanita and psilocybin mushrooms could evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys for shamans and chiefs. He explores the earthwork and platform mounds built by Indigenous cultures of the Mississippi Valley, showing how they quite likely served as early models for the Path of Souls. He also explores similarities between the Ghost Trail afterlife journey and the well-known Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.
