Real Ghost Stories Review
The kindle edition is a re-arranged and introduced by Estelle Stead. In the intro they explain why they are re-issuing some of the wonderful stories of genuine psychic experiences that were collected by their father several years prior. The originals were published in 2 volumes in 1891-92 as Real Ghost Stories and More Ghost Stories.
Collected within this book are stories that have been gathered that discuss psychic phenomenon. It begins with discussing the ghost that dwells in each of us, then on to the thought body or the double, the vision of the out of sight, premonitions and second sight, ghosts of the living on business, and finally ghosts keeping promise. It is taken from the perspective of the times and Stead tries to conquer some thoughts and conjectures that try to oppose this type of phenomenon. This should be read by anyone wishing to either study or explore this field. Stead did a great job at collecting and even recounting them for everyone else to enjoy.

Highly recommended - Peter Kattan - New York, USA
Most of the events in this book occurred more than a hundred years ago. Collecting them in this volume provides a very reliable historical reference for this type of phenomena. The author has done a good job of recounting the details of these events. One major feature of this book is that the author not only provides a narration of these events but also tries to explain them based on the current theories of the unconscious. This book is highly recommended for researchers in the field of psychic phenomena. It has a whole chapter on the thought-body or the double of living people. The Appendix contains a large list of famous ghosts in history. It is a pleasure for me to publish this book in this new, high quality, and affordable edition. This review applies to the $ 14.95 edition.
