Book overview from blurb on Amazon:

For years, and in countries around the world, supernatural enthusiasts have turned to the Ouija board for their first glimpse of what lies beyond—a dimension where ghosts, spirits, demons, and devils roam free.

With such a long and diverse history, it’s unsurprising that Ouija has thrown up some interesting experiences. To some, it’s just a bit of fun; a spooky parlor game to pass the time with friends. For others, however, the terrifying encounter haunts them for a lifetime; an experience never to be forgotten. These people would instantly erase their experience, if only they could…

Haunted Ouija Boards dives into some of the spookiest encounters, giving us a spooky glimpse into the paranormal world—the book is filled with true stories from non-believers, believers, and Spiritualism fanatics, giving you a wide range of sources.

Disturbing tales of lingering ghosts, ominous warnings, and implausibly correct predictions for the future are contained within. As we dig deeper, though, the stories become darker—demonic encounters, spirits physically attacking houseguests, and even the Ouija board becoming the motivation for murder.

Never underestimate the powerful entities that the Ouija board can connect you with. As well as the compilation of terrifying true tales, Haunted Ouija Boards highlights just how dangerous this “simple board game” can be, and how to enjoy it safely—if that’s even possible.

Haunted Ouija Boards will challenge skeptics to become believers. All of this, made possible by one board, with 26 letters, ten numbers, and a few simple words. And a little help from the spirit world, of course.

Book overview from back of paperback:

Can you imagine the terrible pain of your stomach bloating larger and larger until onlookers fear your body will burst open? What about your body twisting beyond what is humanly possible? Or your face distorting to such a hideous extent that you’re scarcely recognizable. These images, and many more, are not at all uncommon during a demonic possession.

But how can you fight a horrific creature that only you can see? How can you escape a monster that’s impossible to hide from, no matter where you run? Demon possession is a terrifying experience that many unlucky victims have experienced over the years.

This book is filled with true stories of real demonic possessions from the 1600s right the way through to modern times, and from all corners of the globe. The people in these stories are from every walk of life, and range from grown men and women right the way through to young children. It seems anyone can suffer the misfortune of being possessed by a demon.

The suspected key behind each possession is almost as varied as the cast of characters involved. Pacts with the devil, occult activity, curses, and ill-reputed healers are a few of the known causes. For some people, however, it seems they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Many of these stories end with deliverance from the enslaving demonic forces, but not all the stories have a “happy” ending: a few end in violence, murder, prison, and mental institutions.

By reading this book you will witness the inconceivable and enigmatic legends of demon possession, but be warned – many of these stories will not only rattle your imagination, but also haunt you in your sleep. Prepare to be disturbed – very disturbed.

For people who believe in the paranormal-ghosts, spirits, and other unexplainable encounters-most will agree that old hospitals and asylums are the most haunted places you can visit. With thirteen chilling chapters, “Haunted Hospitals” delves into the history of the most infamous asylums, sanitariums and hospitals on Earth, unlocking their dark histories and detailing their paranormal activities.

Take Waverly Hills Sanatorium, home to Mary, the apparition of a little girl who “wasn’t normal”. Left behind after a disease cut her young life short.

Mary went from innocent in life to something more horrific in death.

Then there’s Old Changi military hospital, where a history of wartime bloodbaths still stains the old abandoned halls-leaving behind chilling images in the minds of trespassers.

Or what about any of the other haunted hospitals contained within, where apparitions, disembodied voices, and strange occurrences are commonplace. With overcrowding and barbaric medical procedures being practiced, these buildings were the torture houses of the 20th century, and the eeriest haunts of the 21st.

“Haunted Hospitals” unlocks the dark histories of the most chilling abandoned hospitals from around the world. Every chapter describes the eerie and often frightening details of the best ghost encounters. Are these sightings based on myth of true horrors? Only you can decide.

In the darkness of night, the witching hour, when spirits, monsters, and demons walk free, who interprets the call when someone encounters something they cannot explain? In fiction, it’s a specialist-someone ready to face the forces of darkness. In reality, most of the time it’s the officers of our police force.

Late on a dark, cold night, an officer gets a call from a desperate, frantic man that his possessed sister is trying to kill him. Another caller confronts a red-eye creature that walks through walls while another two officers desperately try to stop a man from being kidnapped by a creature controlling time.

What would you do faced with a little girl who vanishes before your very eyes? What about a terrifying encounter with a shape-shifting being? Would you be able to stay calm and do your job? Or would you run screaming and never look back?

These examples might sound like fireside tales or urban myths, but you would be mistaken for they are all real. Taken from reports, interviews, and statements for officers all around the world, this book contains eighteen of the most chilling and unexplainable encounters the police have endured with the paranormal.

When dealing with the fringes of humanity, where society starts to break down, disturbing things are called forth and these stories will show you just how disturbing it can be for those in uniform who answer the call of citizens in need.

Book overview blurb from back of paperback:

Have you ever visited a truly haunted castle? There are many castles across the world with a reputation for being preoccupied with spirits. This book shares the true stories of hauntings in fairytale-like castles with towering spires and majestic rooms as well as mysterious castles seemingly built to keep something inside, rather than outside.

Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, and more have castles included in this spine-tingling account of ghosts, demons, elementals, and spectral creatures that have been in the haunting business for hundreds of years.

Famous haunted sites like the Tower of London in England and the Leap Castle of Ireland are discussed, as well as lesser known, but equally chilling accounts of hauntings in castles like Houska Castle of the Czech Republic. Every single one of these castles has ghosts that haunt the living still to this day.

Not all spirits are human, as in the castle believed to be built to keep evil spirits within its confines, protecting the villagers in the surrounding countryside, and later used by the Nazis for paranormal experiments during World War II. Another was built on a sacred Druid site, its residents enduring the deep-seeded misfortunes of their ancestors.

Some of the ghosts you will read about are aggressive, their hatred and bitterness consuming them and ensuring they do harm to the living. Others seem content with their place in the afterlife, browsing library contents or quietly guarding the castle halls. Some of these restless spirits are famous, like those of King Henry VIII and his many wives, while others remain sadly unknown.

Many spirits were victims of the violence that so often stems from political intrigue while others from unprovoked murder, suicide, or horrific accidents, like the ghost of little Harriet who still plays near the staircase where she lost her life. Still others never recovered from the heartache they experienced in life.

Delve into the majestic and eerie life of haunted castles; just be sure if you decide to tour these century-old dwellings not every encounter may be with the living.
