Real Hauntings

Twenty-five real-life tales of hauntings and ghostly encounters across America, by the author of Houses of Horror and Ghost Hunter’s Strangest Cases. Hans Holzers Real Hauntings continues his account of true, authenticated case histories of haunting throughout the United States. From the restless shade of a sea captain on Cape Cod, to the remorseful parishioner at St. Mark’s in New York City who is unable to forget her extramarital affair, to the little girl ghost of Landsdowne, Pennsylvania, who can’t quite understand what happened to her world, Real Hauntings chronicles the fascinating and dramatic accounts of the true experiences that ordinary people have had with the world beyond our own. New Hampshire, Virginia, California, Louisiana, Minnesota—ghostly encounters can occur anywhere and to anyone. Among the many remarkable encounters in Real Hauntings is the story about the ghost of a young girl killed during a wild party in Hollywood; the testimony of tenants at an eighteen-century carriage house in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen regarding the several ghosts they have encountered; and the account of the piano-playing phantom in an old house in Arkansas. In all, twenty-five true, witnessed accounts are reported here by Dr. Hans Holzer.
