Ghost Stories: Tales Of Fear And Fascination

Edgar Allan Poe’s life was marked by hardship, loss, and personal demons that mirrored the dark themes in his writing. Orphaned at a young age, he struggled with unstable foster care, financial troubles, and a constant battle with alcoholism. His literary career, though groundbreaking, was plagued by critical rejection and poverty. Poe experienced profound sorrow from the deaths of loved ones, including his young wife, Virginia, whose illness deeply affected him. In 1849, he was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore under mysterious circumstances and died shortly after at the age of 40. The exact cause of his death remains unclear, shrouded in speculation, much like the haunting narratives he penned. Herein are some of his greatest poems.

Here too are exciting historical reports on the ghosts of some of history’s most enthralling figures. Once again the ghost of General George Armstrong Custer comes to life in a bitter bloody tale of the general’s desperate folly Little Big Horn on June 25-26, 1876.

Also included is an extended look at the death, burial, attempted grave, robbing, and the restless ghost of President Abraham Lincoln.

Here too is the murder and haunting in 1969 of actress Sharon Tate at the hands of the heartless Manson family in the Hollywood Hills. Some say Tate still haunts the place where she left this world.

Also examined is the ghost of Nicolas Tesla and how his unbelievable inventions were stolen away after his untimely death.

Then there is Edgar Allan Poe, and how he continues to haunt his oppressors to this very day from beyond the grave.

All told here is a marvelous, frightening hyper-realistic collection of history's most famous ghost sightings.
