Haunted: Ghosts and spirits of Southern Africa, Sian Hall, 2011

Paperback, 174 pages

Includes full colour photographs

Here is a unique collection of experiences from an’other’ world. These are not invented stories, but actual encounters with the paranormal. People going about their daily lives have found themselves in touch with events they cannot explain, lights, sounds and apparitions from a different dimension. Here are haunted Victorian mansions, ghosts of the veld and bush in langhuise and isolated farms, lonely roads with derelict eery ruins, where disembodied footsteps are muffled by the banging of loosely-latched shutters in the whistling of the winter winds. Here you will find poltergeists, headless apparitions, strange lights at night, ghostly phenomena, and the ability of animals to sense and see what we cannot.

This is a collection of actual recorded and reported events that will put shivers down your spine, and reminds us of a parallel world of happenings beyond our understanding, turning the familiar into the fearful.
