Ghosts & Gallows: True Stories of Crime and the Paranormal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780752463391)

A unique compilation of true crime cases with paranormal connections from the mid-18th century to the present

Murder and ghosts go hand-in-hand, and vengeful specters seeking justice or haunting the scene of the crime or their killers have adorned the pages of literature since before Shakespeare. This chilling collection of true-crime tales dating from the mid-18th century to the present all feature some element of the paranormal. Cases include the discovery of a body by a spiritualist medium, a murder solved by a dream of the mother of the victim, and evidence at a Scottish murder trial provided by the ghost of the victim herself. Featuring visions, psychometry, ghosts, haunted prisons, possessions, and spiritualist detectives, this book is a fascinating look at criminology and ghost hunting. Paranormal historian Paul Adams has opened the case files of both the criminologist and the ghost hunter to compile a unique collection of crime from British history.
