Have you ever had the feeling that someone is watching you? What if that someone was a ghost? Welcome to the world of twelve-year old Ian Stanley. Ever since he was born, he's been able to communicate with ghosts. They don't frighten him...they drive him absolutely crazy. Ian is constantly surrounded by an obnoxious cast of ghosts: Xavier the Slicer, Sneaky Helga, Peter the Lecher and Frederick the Scorcher. All murderers with an insane sense of humor and all bent on making Ian's life absolutely miserable. Ian simply wants to have a normal life like other children his age, but it's impossible. The only person that will talk to him at school is Madison, and Ian has his suspicions she is only using him to learn more about the ghosts that surround him. Then something happens that changes everything, Ian gets a tip from one of the ghosts that a murder is about to happen in his neighborhood. Should Ian believe the evil spirit? Is he sending him on a wild goose chase? What if he ignores the ghost, and someone actually dies? Join Ian Stanley on his quest to live a normal life amidst a cast of ghosts determined to create as much mayhem and mischief as possible.

England, 1910. Landscape designer Jonas Laurence arrives at the cheerless and fog enswathed Hillcomb Hall, home to the Earl of Stanley and his family, to renovate their crumbling gardens. With a great storm crashing all around, his time is at the mercy of the house's odd and mysterious occupants. Captivated by the hauntingly attractive portrait of Lord Stanley's ancestor, which constantly seems to watch and taunt him, Jonas's dreams become weird and distressing. And his waking moments are consumed by the strange stories and weird atmosphere of the manor estate. Ghostly visits in the night leave Jonas no choice but to accept his attraction to the otherworldly spirit from the painting. But is this affaire de coeur real? Or is it all just a trick of the mind, a sinister game being played by the inhabitants of Hillcomb Hall?

A case-centred study of Phantom Hitch-Hikers & Phantom Jaywalkers in Folklore and Fact. Tales of Phantom Hitch-Hikers are found the world over. But is there anything more to them than the staple of contemporary folklore they appear to be? Cases like Blue Bell Hill suggest there is. Here, and in numerous other modern cases, witnesses report vivid and terrifying encounters with solid-looking figures that step into the paths of their vehicles. These events show an affinity with the legendary Phantom Hitch-Hiker, suggesting that far from being mere vestiges of a superstitious folk tradition, they may reflect a genuine but complex phenomenon that continues to manifest in modern times and settings, and challenges our very notions of reality. This book traces Blue Bell Hill's ghost from its roots in folklore to compelling fact, with nearly 50 witness accounts attesting to it as an important modern example of haunting on record, and arguably the foremost case of its kind in the world today.
