Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle, a land of history and mystery, beauty and enchantment. But there's much more to this jewel of the North Atlantic than meets the eye. There is an 18th-century swordsman who defends the hidden treasure of Ballyheigue Castle, a proud house now gutted by fire; Princess Orloff, originally known as Angelica Parrott, who returned home to haunt a jealous sister; Lilith, a young inhabitant of eerie Skryne Castle, who was strangled with foxglove fronds in 1740....

According to Hans Holzer, an expert in psychic phenomena, the ghosts of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, and other top stars still inhabit the Hollywood mansions in which they once lived.

Story
Dixie, with its romantic moods and old-world charm, is particularly prone to harbor phantoms, such as the Gray Man of Pawley's Island, South Carolina, who warns of impending disaster, or headless Joe Baldwin and the famed Maco light of Wilmington. In perhaps the most chilling account, a Tyler, Texas, family suffers years of agony at the hands of a particularly destructive poltergeist. Insects come from nowhere to literally rain on them in their home, and heavy objects are seen to move through space.

If you think that extrasensory perception (ESP) is a power reserved for crystal-ball gazers, gypsies, believers in the occult, or something to watch on late-night television, this audiobook will come as a big surprise. For ESP is a power latent in each one of us. Every single man, woman, and child has the ability to obtain information beyond the limitations of the time-space continuum. If we're not aware of this force, we're either ignoring it, suppressing it, or ascribing the phenomenon to other causes.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Built on top of the old city cemetery, Denver Botanic Gardens sits upon thousands of unrecovered human remains. Small wonder, then, that visitors and staff alike have reported all manner of ghostly activity, ranging from disembodied voices, cold spots, and phantom footsteps, to shadow figures and full-bodied apparitions. Are the spirits of the restless dead making their presence known to the living?

Fascinating and reverent from the Godfather of Par
A good performance from a book straight from the Godfather of Parapsychology. I think he may have invented ghosts :-)
In all seriousness, This man genius knows few boundaries and he's truly fearless, curious and observant. If you like a non bias scientific approach to the paranormal it's for you. Just the facts!

Not really what I was wanting…
I went into this wanting amazing tales of ghost stories with some excitement. What I got was snores. Made it through about 1/3 of the book before I had to quit. The narrator sounds like a robot and his inflection and cadence was so distracting, I couldn’t enjoy the book. Perhaps it would have been more interesting with a different narrator.

Amazing collection, and a great narrator !!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely the stories are so well detailed and give you real insights to the situations and people involved.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gothic Ghosts?
I dont want to give any spoilers. but truly every story has a great moment with all the research involved.
Which character – as performed by Jim Tedder – was your favorite?
I love when he narrates the females I feel a lot of men have a hard time "feeling out" a woman's emotions through words. he was spot on.
If you could give Gothic Ghosts a new subtitle, what would it be?
A amazing collections of ghost stories you HAVE NOT heard yet . :)
Any additional comments?
I just think this book is worth your credit and or the full price. I will be re-listening again and again ! thank you!

We enjoyed the book
I had come across Holzer Files on the Travel Channel and had watched the show with my Mom - in - Love. Then I started looking to see more about if there were books about or by him. It turns out that there are many.
I started with this one and enjoyed his journey around Ireland. He found out history and who lived in the areas he visited. Together with Cybil and his wife Kathryn they would visit various haunted places and Cybil would go into a trance and let the spirit speak through her. In many cases, they would be able to help them move on.
