Ghosts I Have Met And Others John Kendrick Bangs 1902 (258 pages)
It sounds like John Kendrick Bangs had his credibility questioned several times throughout his writing years as he makes mention of it several times throughout this book and by the sound of it he didn't like it much. A wonderful book with great Ghost stories although Bangs would disagree they're stories, he writes the book in factual fashion as it happened during his life, he was a true believer!
"If we could only get used to the idea
that ghosts are perfectly harmless creatures,
who are powerless to affect our well-being
unless we assist them by giving way to our
fears, we should enjoy the supernatural exceedingly, it seems to me."
Ghosts I Have Seen Violet Tweedale 1919 (324 pages)
Violet Tweedale was obviously very in tune with the spirit world, either that or she had a very vivid imagination. She talks of commiting murder in Scotland recalling every sordid detail but then woke up and thought it all a dream, but was it? She speaks of the ghosts of Broughton Hall, very creepy, the man in Marylebone Road and much, much more. Brilliantly written and a very nice book to read..
"I have written of strange visitants from other
realms, and of that vivid illumination which at moments
lays bare the hidden springs of life, when the
spirit emerges beyond the limit of human thought,
and familiar things, beyond the horizon of life, and
touches a sphere beyond immortality. It is a condition
that the grave has nothing to do with, a beholding
beyond the frontiers of the soul."
The Ghosts And Other Lectures Robert G Ingersoll 1878 (256 pages)
"The idea of immortality, that like a sea has ebbed and flowed in the human heart, with its countless waves of hope and fear, beating against the shores and rocks of time and fate, was not born of any book, nor of any creed, nor of any religion. It was born of human affection, and it will continue to ebb and flow beneath the mists and clouds of doubt and darkness as long as love kisses the lips of death."
All Men Are Ghosts L P Jacks 1913 (380 pages)
" The first principle to guide us in the study
of the subject," said Panhandle, "is that no
genuine ghost ever recognised itself as what
you suppose it to be. The conception which
the ghost has of its own being is fundamentally
different from yours. Because it lacks
solidity you deem it less real than yourself.
The ghost thinks the opposite. You imagine
that its language is a squeak. From the
ghost's point of view the squeaker is yourself."
The Night Side OF Nature Mrs. Crowe 1904 (520 pages)
"MRS. CATHERINE CROWE (c. 1800-1876), was a rather miscellaneous
writer, whose more important work belonged
to two distinct classes, identified by the present generation
with two alone out of her books, that somewhat homely
example of the sensation novel," Susan Hopley," and her
collection of supernatural tales, "The Night Side of
Nature."
Wandering Ghosts F. Marion Crawford 1911 (322 pages)
