The word werwolf (or werewolf) is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'wer', man, and 'wulf', wolf, and has its equivalents in the German 'Wahrwolf' and French 'loup-garou', whilst it is also to be found in the languages, respectively, of Scandinavia, Russia, Austria-Hungary, the Balkan Peninsula, and of certain of the countries of Asia and Africa, from which it may be concluded that its range is pretty well universal."-From chapter one of Werwolves ...

Die Banshee oder Todesfee ist fest in der irischen Folklore verankert. Für all diejenigen, die mehr darüber erfahren wollen - wann, warum und wo sie auftaucht, und insbesondere wer sie ist - hat Elliott O'Donnell, ein bekannter Viktorianischer Geisterjäger und Autorität des Übernatürlichen, im Jahre 1907 ein Werk geschaffen, das als unbestrittener Klassiker in dieser Hinsicht gilt.Abergläubischer Humbug oder nicht? Wir wissen es nicht, denn ei...

The core view of paranormal investigator Elliott O'Donnell, regarding the wer(e)wolf, was that he assumed a serious occult phenomenon, rather than a folkloric fantasy, that could easily be dismissed by science. Within this scope Werwolves (1914) is as pioneering as the book is entertaining. It combines O'Donnell's - ahead of his time - linking of the werewolf to shamanism, the etheric double and astral projection with the traditional dark roma...

Excerpt from The Irish Abroad: A Record of the Achievements of Wanderers From IrelandIN presenting this volume to the public I would draw attention to the fact that it deals with the Irishman out of Ireland in the broadest sense - that is to say, it deals with him in England, Scotland, Wales, France, Spain and the British Colonies, anywhere, indeed, saving in his own country. Also I beg to thank Madame Maud Gonne, Miss M. Barry o'delany, Gener...

Come diventare un lupo mannaro" è ciò che per i vampiri è il "Dracula" di Bram Stoker: un libro di riferimento. Inoltre è sicuramente un buon manuale su come si costruisce un racconto dell'orrore, che nella sua forma originaria è un genere popolare, proletario e, in fin dei conti, ottimista. Come ogni buona storia d'orrore questo libro fa paura, poi tranquillizza, e poi fa paura ancora. Il lupo mannaro, a differenza dell'aristocratico vampiro,...

Excerpt from More Haunted Houses of LondonThe whole system of education in England is rotten to the core. In training the young the brain only is taken into consideration, the character is left to take care of itself. So long as the boy is clever, so longi as he succeeds at his lessons, passes a high standard, and takes scholarships and degrees, and is, in a word, in a position to make money, that is all that those responsible for his educatio...

Excerpt from The Menace of SpiritualismIt looks as if the penalty of trying to force the hand of God, and of lifting the veil to communicate with the Great Beyond was total loss of that childlike and clinging faith which is the priceless inheritance of the sons of God - Unless you become as a little child.Up to date in rare cases only have I been able to persuade necromancers to shake ofi Spiritistic practices and to return once more to the Ch...

Excerpt from Haunted Places in EnglandI AM not a psychometrist - at least not to any great extent. I cannot pick up a small object - say an old ring or coin - and straightway tell you its history, describing all the people and incidents with which it has been associated. Yet, occasion ally, odd things are revealed to me through some strange ornament or piece of furniture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rar...
