Welcome to Litsy!

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, ghost hunting & spiritualism was perhaps at its peak in popularity, & some people, perhaps wishing to cash in on the popularity of ghost hunts meaning easy pickings for pickpockets, or even just the momentary attention, perpetuated hoax hauntings. This book looks at 12 hauntings where the evidence is examined more closely & suggest that the ghostly figures were of a more earthly origin.
