Ghost storiesis still widespread and popular all over the world. While most of the actions thought to be common among ghosts (chain clanking, cemetery haunting, and so forth) can be found, they are by no means so widespread in the popular ghost stories as we have been led to expect. The ghost who is very like the living is far more common than any other. ... It might be expected that a rational age of science would destroy belief in the ability of the dead to return. I think it works the other way: in an age of scientific miracles anything seems possible.Louis C Jones
Man is the only animal that knows he will die, so said by the great Voltaire. The knowledge that he would one day cease to live permeates man's days and poisons them a little. I think that if I am given another life, I would like to live as a bird or a cow or an alligator or a beetle. It doesn't add much to the enjoyment of life to know that it won't last long!
We sometimes met persons not quite like you or me because they have experiences that often defy explanation. It's a world of supernatural, where meaning is obscure but such a world exist. Its phenomena may arise on the mind or from the appearance of an apparition of a person surely dead many years ago or weeks ago. That is what we will explore, because such an experience can happen even to you. You have heard the expression if thought could kill? Keep that in mind. It is at the heart of what you are about to read.
How well are you plugged into your world? I don't mean the world around you. Outside of you, I mean your own private world. The one inside of you. Most men and women are content enough to take themselves as they find themselves, but some either running from the world outside or searching for. Or the one within seek new frontiers far more dangerous than even the boundaries of space more exotic than the mysteries of the ancient east.
