Synopsis

The soul, in its numerous incarnations, has long been a source of fascination, and because the spirit world is largely a product of human imagination, the soul appears in an endless parade of shapes and sizes. This book introduces the concepts from their various sides and angles, from the fictional viewpoint, with an artistic and photographic representation of the best-known ghost stories, and from the "factual" angle, with a "soul-hunter"'s kit containing the modern equipment employed by parapsychologists and spirit-seekers around the world. Seances and the spirit world and exorcism are all examined, as are good and bad ghosts. There are true-life stories of peoples' experiences of the supernatural (such as when a patient returns to life after a clinical death), incorporating long, spiritually-lit corridors and meetings with angelic hosts. There are many beliefs about the world that the soul visits in the afterlife. The Christian concept of heaven is explored, but of course other religions encompass the idea of souls and spirits, ghosts and ghouls, and the book also looks at Eastern beliefs, Hinduism and the Muslim religions.
