Bøger af Louis C. Jones

Hailed as one of the best books of ghost stories in the country when it was first published in 1959, Things That Go Bump in the Night is a timeless record of haunted history and restless spirits. Comprising over two hundred stories, the volume is a comprehensive archive of supernatural legends. Yet despite the wealth of observed psychic phenomena, Louis C. Jones underscores the importance of the transmission of oral traditions that continue to have a vigorous life of their own. The book reveals how the stories of ghosts are kept alive from generation to generation through their telling and retelling from Native American legend, the French and Indian wars, and the Civil War to the early days of the Erie Canal and World War II.
