## Description

Discover the spine-tingling history of ghosts and the supernatural across the world in this stunningly illustrated title. A History of Ghosts, Spirits and the Supernatural charts the extraordinary narrative of one of the most intriguing and enduring subjects in the world, covering everything from Neolithic ancestor worship and ancient necromancy to modern-day ghost-hunting and “creepypasta” tales, and from the Japanese onryo to the La Llorona of Latin America. The perfect introduction to the subject, this fascinating volume charts the various ways in which spirits and the spirit world have been depicted in myth and religion, folklore, art, literature, and cinema, and how the idea of ghosts and otherworldly beings has resonated with people through history and across the world. In this blood-curdling book, you will find: More than 350 full-colour images combined with engaging, accessible text that brings the subject to life, with biographies of key figures Infamous tales of haunted houses and ghost ships, séances and mediumship, poltergeists, possessions, and demonic encounters Profiles of other unearthly and undead beings, such as werewolves and vampires, and galleries of everything from effigies and dolls to tools used in paranormal investigations Details of scientific theories that have attempted to shed light on the spirit phenomenon, such as “the stone tape” theory and Kirlian photography A serious and comprehensive, but accessible guide to the subject, A History of Ghosts, Spirits and the Supernatural will shock and delight you in equal measure – whether you are a believer or a skeptic. The Esoteric Histories series With global sales of more than 300,000 copies, DK’s Esoteric Histories explore the rich traditions of mystical and mysterious subjects – from witchcraft to the world of the unexplained – weaving together religion, mythology, folklore, and the paranormal with art, culture, and science.
