Atlas of Paranormal Places (A Journey to the World's Most Supernatural Places) - 9780711287976

Uncover fascinating paranormal activity on this chilling, nerve-wracking global tour of 100 haunted locations.

Set out on a uniquely dark armchair journey, and witness the shocking supernatural events, ghosts and unexplained phenomena that have captivated humankind for as long as we have told stories to each other, looked to the skies, and wondered whether we really are alone…

The paranormal places include:
 

• The Island of the Dolls in Mexico, where a haunted recluse has hung hundreds of creepy dolls from trees
• St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida, USA, the eerie former home of three girls trapped beneath a wheelbarrow
• Gunnuhver Mud Pool in Iceland, infected by the spirit of a maddened criminal
• Turkmenistan’s Door to Hell, an infernal crater still blazing after half a century

Legends about spirits that rise from the dead, places where the crops don’t grow, or sites where strange lights are seen at night… glaciers that bleed, ghost towns, crumbling castles, disused (and active) cemeteries, eerie forests, and freak nature patterns…

This cursed collection covers these sites in all their mysterious glory, and recounts what happened, what continues to happen, and what may explain these phenomena. Hauntings, aliens, moving rocks, and all manner of paranormal activity are covered, in manmade as well as natural surroundings.
