{"product_id":"spectral-edition-tim-prasil-9781948084000","title":"Spectral Edition: Ghost Reports from U.S. Newspapers, 1865-1917","description":"Between the American Civil War and the nation's entry into World War I, a wave of ghost reports appeared in U.S. newspapers. Haunted houses, haunted roads, haunted families, and other spectral manifestations were treated as legitimate news. Tim Prasil has collected hundreds of these articles, and Spectral Edition: Ghost Reports from U.S. Newspapers, 1865-1917 displays the scariest, strangest, funniest, and most intriguing of them. Along with nearly 150 complete ghost reports, Prasil includes a well-researched Introduction, useful footnotes, rare newspaper illustrations, and an essay about how an alleged ghost encounter in Memphis ignited a debate about responsible journalism. Spectral Edition explores a curious chapter of U.S. newspapers and an era when the American press challenged scientific and religious skepticism with open-minded consideration of the possibility that specters return to haunt us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Prasil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948084007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948084000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brom Bones Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Tim Prasil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169920872703,"sku":"9781948084000","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43f9e4d3-5108-46e0-996c-0a4b1bb8fcab.jpg?v=1689655776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spectral-edition-tim-prasil-9781948084000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
