Ghostly Phenomena: Now Available!
This is a rather strange little book and contains a compilation of tales about ghosts and encounters of the same, starting with the authors' own recollections, then tales related to him, and finally some of his opinions on various spiritual phenomena. The author, Elliott O'Donnell, has been generally considered a fraud because of his unwillingness to produce these third parties for scrutiny but I doubt it, personally, based on his open refutation of things like mediumship and automatic writing which could have made him far more cash than simply inventing spook stories. Embellishment aside, I have to assume some of his experiences were genuine.
The work also includes some passages about haunted trees and ghostly mariners, which involve some secondary works which the reader may find useful.

How to Speak With the Dead: Now Available!
This work is very well crafted especially for its era; the author, known as "Sciens", manages to delve into science and spiritualism here somewhat seamlessly without mindlessly accepting either the spiritual or rational explanation for phenomena he visits within the manuscript.
The majority of its content deals with the structure of a seance and the philosophy behind the basic concept of communicating with the departed- helpfully, the work clears up some misconceptions about channeling and similar topics as well, debunking the idea that, for example, those gathered need to link hands for some electrical purpose. At the end of the work both skeptics and spiritualists are fairly reamed by the author for various excesses.
93 pages.
