Certain Nocturnal Disturbances: Ghost Hunting Before the Victorians - Paperback

by Tim Prasil (Author)

Paranormal investigators of the Victorian era (1837-1901) certainly refined and advanced ghost hunting. But they didn't invent it. Night-long stakeouts, investigation teams, struggles with skeptics - even the term "ghost hunter" - all appeared before the Victorians.

In Certain Nocturnal Disturbances, historian Tim Prasil narrates and analyzes famous and forgotten cases from the deep roots of ghost hunting. He shares insights into spectral manifestations of centuries ago while making surprising connections to paranormal investigation today.
