Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the likes of frontier legend, Davy Crockett or Ruby Elzy, African American opera singer to Gladys Presley, mother of Rock-n-Roll's legendary King, Elvis Presley, the Mississippi hills of The Wilderness have stories of grandeur to tell. It's a place of new beginnings and heartbreaking endings. A place where battles and bloodshed have weaved a history destined to be retold. And beneath the graves of many left behind lies the bodies of restless spirits who still roam the streets, trapped by the memories of another time. A time in 1836 when The Wilderness was given a new name. Explore the haunting tales of ghosts and paranormal phenomena in this second volume in the series. Experience the terror of The Devil's Den, a place where even the skeptics cannot deny its malevolent force. A haunted history series that's certain to delight ghost lovers and history geeks! Note from Sydney This haunted history series is a narrative based on actual research and personal testimonies. Months are spent interviewing witnesses, researching locations, and visiting haunted sites. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I have enjoyed the research. After more than twenty-five years of studying the paranormal, I still find stories that leave me utterly aghast.

Download or read book Ghosts of the Wild West written by Nancy Roberts and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen tales of untamed spirits in the newly expanded edition of the Spur Award finalist from the “custodian of the twilight zone” (Southern Living). In these seventeen ghostly tales—including five new stories—Roberts expertly guides readers through eerie encounters and harrowing hauntings across Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the Dakotas. Along the way her accounts intersect with the lives (and afterlives) of legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday. Roberts also justifies the fascination among ghost hunters, folklorists, and interested tourists with notoriously haunted locales such as Deadwood, Tombstone, and Abilene through her tales of paranormal legends linked to these gunslinger towns synonymous with violence and vice in Western lore. But not all of these encounters feature frightening specters or wandering souls. Roberts also details episodes of animal spirits, protective presences, and supernatural healings. Forever destined to be associated with adventure, romance, and risk taking, the Wild West of yore still haunts the American imagination. Roberts reminds us here that our imaginations aren’t the only places where restless ghosts still roam. “Tales of vaporous ghost lights, haunted mesas, phantom gunmen, and reanimated skeletons. It’s a book sure to please collectors of Western lore, fans of well-told, old-fashioned ghost tales and, it would seem to me, school librarians looking for just the right book to introduce middle school and high school readers to American folklore.” —Michael Norman, author of Haunted Heartland

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, written by the author of the "definitive" biography of primatologist Jane Goodall, presents in sweeping detail the story of a group of young volunteers and students doing animal behavior research on chimpanzees, baboons, and red colobus monkeys at Dr. Goodall's research site in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park during the late 1960s. Goodall, who began her work in the summer of 1960, was originally sponsored by the great paleontologist Louis Leakey and funded by the National Geographic Society. Her early studies of chimpanzees soon made her world famous as one of the great pioneers in primatology, and she began working to transform her original tented camp into a major field station for animal studies. Then came a tragic event that marked the final summer of that promising first decade and is the focus of this book. At aroundnoon, on Saturday, July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American working at Gombe as a volunteer, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest and never returned. Her body was found six days later floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. The Ghosts of Gombe explores the social tensions that developed among the small community of researchers during 1968 and 1969; considers thoroughly how the death might have happened; and describes the painful personal consequences for some of the surviving researchers."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book A Land of Ghosts written by David G. Campbell and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biologist and award-winning author journeys deep inside the Amazon rainforest in this eloquent and insightful look at one of earth’s last wild places. For thirty years, biologist David G. Campbell has been exploring the lush wilderness, of the western Amazon, which contains more species than ever existed anywhere on our planet. In A Land of Ghosts, Campbell takes readers on his latest venture. In Cruzeiro do Sul, 2,800 miles from the mouth of the Amazon, Campbell collects three old friends: Arito, a caiman hunter turned paleontologist; Tarzan, a street urchin brought up in a bordello; and Pimentel, a master canoe pilot. Heading further into the rainforest, they survey every living woody plant they can find. The land is so rich that an area of less than fifty acres contains three times as many tree species as all of North America. Campbell knows the trees individually, and he knows the wildlife and the people as well: the recently arrived colonists with their failing farms; the Caboclos, masters of hunting, fishing, and survival; and the refugee Native Americans. These people live in a land whose original inhabitants were wiped out by centuries of disease, slavery, and genocide, taking their traditions and languages with them: a land of ghosts.

Download or read book The Ghosts of Gombe written by Dale Peterson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American volunteer at Dr. Jane Goodall’s famous chimpanzee research camp in the Gombe Stream National Park of Tanzania, East Africa, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest. Six days later, her body was found floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. With careful detail, The Ghosts of Gombe reveals for the first time the full story of day-to-day life in Goodall’s wilderness camp—the people and the animals, the stresses and excitements, the social conflicts and cultural alignments, and the astonishing friendships that developed between three of the researchers and some of the chimpanzees—during the months preceding that tragic event. Was Ruth’s death an accident? Did she jump? Was she pushed? In an extended act of literary forensics, Goodall biographer Dale Peterson examines how Ruth’s death might have happened and explores some of the painful sequelae that haunted two of the survivors for the rest of their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts of the Wilderness-An Everyday Guy's Search for America's Rare and Elusive Wildlife shares the adventures of the author hiking across the American Southwest, looking for wildlife that he hasn't seen in thousands of miles of hiking during nights, weekends, and days off. Along the way, readers learn something about the history of these classic American animals and their biology. This book also includes human stories and history (ancient, Native American, American pioneer, and more recent history) from the backdrops to these adventures. Finally, the author shares some reflections inspired by time spent outdoors. The book is broken into three sections: Deserts, Mountains, and Plains. Many animals are covered, including mountain lions, pronghorn, and scorpions. Packed with original photographs and analysis, including animals, natural features, artifacts, ruins, petroglyphs, and pictographs, this true adventure book isn't to be missed. "Maybe Daniels's book struck a chord with me because it encapsulates everything I strive to do with my guides. Reading it is like hiking with an experienced friend who can expose you to all the magic hidden in plain sight, the things you would have just walked by otherwise." -Cris Hazzard, HikingGuy.com "As someone who spends more time than I probably should thinking about the desert, I always enjoy it when I come across a fresh and exciting take on it. For that reason I couldn't put this book down. If you love the American Southwest, you will probably love this book." -Steve, SidetrackAdventures.com
