Description: THE POLTERGEISTBy William G. Roll, Foreword by Dr. J. B. Rhine Hardcover: 234 Pages — Book Club Edition — Publisher: N. Doubleday (1972) The Seaford, Long Island, home of Mr. and Mrs. James Hermann was invaded 67 times by a mischievous entity with a penchant for breaking bottles...At her apartment in a housing project In Newark, New Jersey, Mrs. Maybelle Clark watched helplessly as many of her possessions were destroyed during 59 visits by an invisible intruder...Members of the Beck family of Indianapolis, Indiana, suffered 14 mysterious arm and leg punctures which resembled the bites of a bat...The home ot Mrs. Pearl Howell in Clayton, North Carolina, was illuminated nightly by brilliant and unexplained flashes of light...These are but a few of the many intriguing cases described and documented in this fascinating volume by America's leading investigator of "poltergeist" activity. A paranormal manifestation that dates back to the dawn of history and continues to mystify experts in psychic phenomena the world over, "poltergeist" literally means "noisy ghost." Why are certain homes singled out by restless "spirits" for their terrifying rampages—breakage of glassware and crockery, tossing of objects through the air, overturning of lamps, tables, and even bureaus and refrigerators? Why does the poltergeist depart the scene of its mischief as suddenly as it appears, usually after a few months? What common factor is present in all households victimized by poltergeist activity? What should you do if your home is ever invaded by a poltergeist? William G. Roll answers these questions by explaining and illustrating the latest theories on this eerie phenomenon. And the wealth of true case histories which form the nucleus of his book is proof again of the spellbinding fascination of the "unknown." WILLIAM G. ROLL, world-famous authority on poltergeist and haunting phenomena, is Project Director of the Psychical Research Foundation at Durham, North Carolina, which engages in research on the question of survival of personality after death. He is also the editor of the Foundation's quarterly bulletin. Condition: GOOD+. Used - Good+: All pages and dust jacket are intact (dust jacket, if applicable). Spine may show signs of wear.
