Acerca de esta escucha
Have a happy haunted Christmas with these 12 previously unpublished seasonal spine chillers from Tom Slemen, the unrivaled writer and researcher of all things supernatural. In The Twelve Ghosts of Christmas, you will even be chilled by the stories in the introduction to the book, never mind the devilish dozen true tales about eerie time slips, gory premonitions, heart-stopping exorcisms, heartbreaking tales of lost love, graveyard tricksters, and sinister old hags. Listen to a story about the devil that tempted a bishop with pleasures of the flesh in "The Missing Room" and of the titanic, ominous force that turned a 3,000-ton ship upside down and sent its crew of 75 into limbo, never to be seen again. Also,listen to the story about the bohemian '60s couple who gate crashed a Satanist's party at Christmas and discovered what the main course was on the stomach-churning menu.... Plus dwell on the weird story of the uncanny, red-suited phantom that terrorized a couple who bought a dream home in Normandy.... He had bizarre plans for the future of their child... Just some of the weird but true stories in The Twelve Ghosts of Christmas!

Based in Lewes, East Sussex, Ruby and her team of freelance psychics have been kept busy. Specializing in domestic cases, their solid reputation is spreading - it's not just the dead that can rest in peace but the living too. All is threatened when Ruby receives a call from the irate new owner of Highdown Hall. Film star Cynthia Hart is still in residence, despite having died in 1958. Winter deepens and so does the mystery surrounding Cynthia. She insists the devil is blocking her path to the light long after Psychic Surveys have 'disproved' it.

This book - which put Liverpool on the paranormal map - is about ghosts - whatever they are. Every culture has believed in ghosts at one time or another: Buddha trained himself to overcome fear by sitting in a haunted cemetery. Spooky tales are not just a contemporary phenomenon - there are several ghosts mentioned in the Old Testament. In the course of a person's lifetime, the chances of encountering a ghost are surprisingly high.

Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. Every nine years, the house's residents - an odd brother and sister - extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late....

Arthur Johnson is a mild-mannered, shy man who has never known how to talk to women.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Very Creepy Unusual Tales Not Found Elsewhere
This is another fascinating collection of strange paranormal Christmas tales. Tom Slemen is the king of unusual paranormal tales from the UK and this edition does not disappoint. Creepy, eerie and definitely ones you haven't heard of read before it is hard to put this book down. The author's research is meticulous and combined with his wonderful storytelling skills, this will definitely keep you entertained. His books are addicting, so be sure to check out his Tales of the Weird and Haunted Liverpool series as well. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audiobook. The narrator for this edition was not the best choice. His monotone delivery, mispronounced terms (this is a British book) and skipped words detracted from the overall experience. It would've been better with a British narrator.
