About this listen
Belief in the supernatural haunts the human mind and challenges the laws of nature. Yet mediums throughout the world communicate with spiritual beings, mysterious photographs reveal previously invisible objects, and witnesses describe awesome, unearthly events that defy logical explanation.
To parapsychologists such as Dr. Hans Holzer, these phenomena are far from unusual. According to his studies, when people die due to sudden, inexplicable emotional trauma, they sometimes fail to make the transition from the physical to the spiritual world. As a result, they manifest themselves to the living as ghosts.
In this astounding collection of true ghost stories taken from his casebooks and journals, Dr. Holzer recounts more than a dozen authenticated encounters with spirits of all kinds. Here you will meet Mrs. McBride, the ghost of an elderly woman who refuses to leave her old home—or to let the new tenants live in peace; Captain Carson, the restless sea captain who still searches for his abducted son after more than a century; and an embittered suitor, determined to win in death the woman who rejected him in life.
From the anguished maiden and the stubborn poltergeist to the attic apparition and the vengeful phantom, Tales at Midnight leads you into the intriguing world of macabre and memorable specters, expertly described by one of the world’s renowned investigators.

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.

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.
