What happens when we die? Ghost stories have always offered one possible answer to that question. Tales of encounters with the dead go back centuries, and possess too many common characteristics to dismiss. Similar accounts of phantom ships, poltergeists and haunted houses recur again and again, as do a variety of spirits, some without bodies, others hurling objects, and still more with multiple personalities. You might reconsider whether death really is the end of consciousness. 176 pages, 10 b/w illus., 5 1/8 x 7 3/4.
