A pleasant little diversion on my Amazon Kindle app. I love any kind of ghost story whether true or not because most of this type of story is about the history of a person or place which is interesting to me and they are just fun to read! (I am not easily frightened) I love older books and this little novel was terrific set in 1878 and a perfect way to spend Halloween Eve. 19th century ghost stories are quite different from modern tales as they tend to be more literary, less blood and guts gruesome, and refer to things that are not present in our modern times. Lifestyles are different, the language is different and even what chilled people to their bones back then will seem silly to the modern mind. THE HAUNTED HOUSE: A TRUE GHOST STORY is a typical piece from the Victorian era and is quite spooky with lots of thrills about a poltergeist who has taken possession of Emma Cox and her tale is told by Mr Walter Hubbell a visitor to the community to observe the ghostly phenomenon. If you have read the story of the Bell Witch it is very similar. Ghost possession seemed to be a popular way of gaining attention by the young back then and most of the time it is simply a hysterical psychological disorder causing the situation. A person could expect to receive lots of attention and even have famous visitors to see for themselves the strange behavior but usually there is a natural explanation for the strange happenings. I certainly believe there are ghosts because I have had too many experiences not to believe this type of paranormal exists but I also know that boredom, feeling neglected, or issues over property, as was the case in the Salem witch trials, can bring out the haunting for an earthly purpose.I am skeptical but am open to possibility and enjoy reading them all the same.
