Restless: True Hauntings from Around the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235853683)

Some places refuse to let their dead disappear.

Across castles, prisons, battlefields, abandoned hospitals, ordinary family homes and lonely stretches of sea, people have reported encounters that seem to reach beyond the boundary between the living and the dead.

But behind every haunting lies another question:

What actually happened there?

RESTLESS: True Hauntings from Around the World investigates sixty of the world's most compelling, disturbing and disputed haunted places and paranormal cases, separating documented history from folklore, eyewitness testimony from commercial legend, and genuine mystery from stories that grew more dramatic with every retelling.

Travel from the execution grounds of the Tower of London and the haunted vaults beneath Edinburgh to Amityville, Gettysburg, the Queen Mary, Aokigahara, Alcatraz, the Enfield Poltergeist, the Winchester Mystery House, the Bermuda Triangle and dozens of other locations whose reputations have endured for generations.

Some cases rest on little more than legend.

Others contain contemporary testimony, court records, photographs, police witnesses and historical documentation that are considerably harder to dismiss.

And sometimes the truth beneath the haunting is more disturbing than the ghost story itself.

RESTLESS approaches the paranormal without demanding belief and without treating every witness as a fool. Instead, it asks what the evidence actually supports, where the stories came from, what later generations changed, and why certain deaths refuse to vanish from cultural memory.

Not every ghost story is true.

But almost every haunting is trying to remember something.

Sixty cases. Fifteen chapters. Centuries of tragedy, folklore, mystery and unexplained experience.

For readers fascinated by true hauntings, paranormal history, unexplained phenomena, dark history, folklore and the strange stories attached to real places, RESTLESS is a journey into the uneasy territory where documented fact ends and something far harder to explain begins.
