Ghost World
(T.F Thiselton Dyer)
Ghosts and uncanny ghostly happenings, in all their manifestations, continue to facinate and intrigue most people.T.F Thiselton Dyer''s "Ghost World" is a classic account of the paranormal and all things ghostly .First published in 1893, it remains to this day a highly readable and engrossing work covering a wide range of spectral occurrences in many varied locations and circumstances.Beginning with an historical survey of the journey of the soul after the death of the body,and indeed of the nature of human soul itself, Thiselton Dyer continues with the question of the "unburied dead" .The Ioquois of North America, for ,example, believed that unless burial rites are performed, the spirit of the dead remains on earth in great unhappiness. The author then examines many different aspects of the "ghost world",including the raising of ghosts, spells against ghosts, phantoms at sea, the nature of banshees, haunted trees, ghostly death warnings, haunted houses, and strange music and sounds.
