pickGhostbusting! 👻 Wish I would have discovered this in October. Lots of interesting historical background on the supernatural craze of late 19th to mid 20th centuries.
I recall my grandmother saying at one time her family members went to some type of fortune teller/seer, which would have been within that period. Can‘t remember why, but in my mind it‘s connected to something about money hidden within the walls of the house.
so-soSurprisingly, I'm not all that familiar with this story -- never saw any of the movies or anything like that -- and honestly, I was less than impressed. Maybe the narrator just didn't have me adequately creeped out!

pickMy view on the existence of ghosts or spirits is like my belief in God - I tend towards being agnostic in that there has been no definitive proof that God exists or doesn't exist, but like the ancient Romans believed about the gods of others, what's the harm in covering all bases just in case!
In a purely entertainment capacity, I thought this was pretty good. (continued)
My husband and I started our anniversary weekend by doing some ghost hunting at Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana. It is a beautiful, peaceful place, but I did not get much sleep. 👻
pickThis is a non-fiction retelling of what happened when an English housewife suddenly began experiencing poltergeist activity in her home. This happened at a time when mediums and seances were popular in the UK and just prior to the first stirrings of WW 2. A prominent psychic investigator decided to look into the case. Lots of clever deception with Freudian overtones makes an interesting study of human nature. Four stars
pick“They are real,” George insists, “and they do inflict evil when the opportunity presents itself.”
This was my fourth time reading this. This book is never not scary.

Starting next. I reread this for #Scarathlon last year. It actually works better as a winter book since it took place in December around Christmas.
