Haunted Houses

3.54 (57 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Corinne May Botz

The follow-up to the successful Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, this book and its evocative blend of photographs and ghost stories will attract anyone drawn to the paranormal, whether in literature, television, or film.

When I was between the ages of five and eight, my sister and I slept in a large attic bedroom. At nightfall the room was filled with gypsies who glided around in clusters. They wore colorful thin flowing dresses and rummaged greedily through my drawers and books as if they would steal everything. I lay in bed as stiff as a board, trying to will myself invisible, praying they would not notice me looking . . . Daylight obliterated the gypsies, rendering them as thoroughly insubstantial as they had been real in the dark. I had a vague understanding that my vision was private, so I never told my family what I saw.

So began Corinne May Botzs fascination with the invisible, a phenomenon that has profoundly influenced her approach to photography in style and subject matter. For more than ten years, she searched for ghost stories in buildings across the United States. She ventured into these haunted places with both camera and tape recorder in hand; her photographs, accompanied by first-person narratives, reveal a rare glimpse into American interiors, both physical and psychological.

This book includes more than eighty haunted buildings, from the legendary to the ordinary, including Edgar Allan Poes house in Baltimore, a New Jersey tavern, and a Massachusetts farmhouse, a log cabin in Kentucky, and a number of private residences. The text includes ghost stories told to the author by those who lived through the moving rugs, creaking floors, apparitions, disappearing - and reappearing - objects, cries in the night, mysteriously burning candles, and other unexplained occurrences.
