Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Who, or what, were the Devils of Loudun? Did Queen Elizabeth the First's friend and advisor John Dee know a man who talked to angels in their sacred language? Could Germany's so-called Seeress of Prevorst really find objects that had been hidden by the dead? These questions are explored, along with eight additional stories of history's celebrated (supposed) ghosts and what the author calls 'human enigmas,' in Historical Ghosts and Ghost Hunters.

Henry (H.) Addington Bruce (1874-1959) was a newspaper journalist whose career began in his native Toronto. He moved to the United States, where he worked for the American Press Association. His primary areas of interest were the psychology of the day and alleged psychical phenomena. A trustee of the American Society of Psychical Research, he tended to be skeptical of poltergeist claims but was open-minded on the questions of telepathy and other powers of the human mind.
