Demonic Dolls: True Tales of Terrible Toys
John Harker - 2015
Not only are such phenomena possible, they happen fairly often, with dolls being one of the most frequent targets of spirit attachment. Sometimes those spirits are benign, or at the most mischievous. But many are outright evil and dangerous. This book examines some of the world’s most famous haunted dolls. Some you may have heard about. Others will be new. All will make you reconsider the world you thought you knew. Here is some of what you’ll find inside: * Robert, the haunted doll from Key West. A lot of the information out there about him is wrong. Find out the truth behind the legend. But don’t think the truth is any less terrifying. * Annabelle, the demonic doll featured in the movies The Conjuring and Annabelle. Find out why the real Annabelle is much, much more frightening. * Peggy, the Internet sensation. Why you should think twice before looking at her picture. * Find out which doll started as a hoax, turned into a terrifying reality, and is now considered one of the most "active" haunted dolls in the world. * Discover which exotic locale and tourist attraction is a pediophobe’s biggest nightmare. You won’t believe such a place exists. * Clown dolls. Need more be said? These stories and many more are what you’ll find in this collection of true accounts from the frightening yet fascinating world of haunted and demonic dolls. Reading this book will undoubtedly raise more questions than it answers, but one thing is assured: you’ll never look at a doll the same again.

Steph Young has appeared on national radio shows and podcast including the UK's The Unexplained, and Coast to Coast Am, talking about many of these mysteries of the Unexplained, which are her passion... These stories are some of the most intriguing, enigmatic, and ultimately unfathomable & unexplained true tales I have ever come across and they continue to fascinate and completely puzzle me.
Join me for some true tales of Unexplained mysteries of the most cryptic kind. In this book are strange and baffling true stories of unexplained mysteries, and the cast of characters who star in them. Stories of unexplained mysteries that yearn to be solved. All of these strange and curious stories, I have written about over the last six years, across a number of my previous books. They continue to intrigue me, and while some of my readers may be familiar with some of these cryptic tales, there are many who are not, and I present them once more, in longer and far more extended format, with deeper delving into the strange and mysterious events and the central characters who feature in them, caught in the whirlwind of these strange unexplained mysteries… which still have yet to be solved.

The Rochdale Poltergeist: A True Story
Jenny Ashford - 2015
Until I did. And then I was thinking, ‘Oh God, do I really want to continue with this?’” - Steve Mera BSc., Director of the Scientific Establishment of Parapsychology Steve Mera had been investigating paranormal phenomena for many years, and had never seen anything that shook him to his very foundations. All that changed in 1996, when he was called in with his team to look into the bizarre occurrences taking place at a small bungalow in Rochdale, Manchester, England. Flying objects, disembodied voices, phantom smells and sounds, and strangest of all, copious falls of water seemingly coming from nowhere plagued the Gardner family for nearly a year.

This account, written by horror author Jenny Ashford from interviews conducted with Steve about the case, is a bone-chilling foray into the paranormal that will make even the most ardent skeptic sleep with the lights on.

'In the dust was the word, "Help," written backwards.' 'They'd captured the sound of a young girl and she was saying, "Do you want to play with me?" 'The demonic looking creature in the patient's drawing had come to life. It followed the Doctor everywhere now, followed afterward by the most deafening of noises that felt as though his ears were about to explode. The strange thing was, no-one else could hear it.' The Harvard Crimson wrote of their visit to the now famous morgue, 'Face mutilated, gashed faces, awful contortions, hideous leer, gaping mouths now fixed forever in rigid agony, hands outstretched whispering, "Come to me, Come to me!" and we hear and shudder and come." Two mysterious trunks arrived. When they were opened they were found to contain two separate parts of an unidentified woman. She had been chopped in half and her top half placed in one of the trunks and her bottom half in the other. 'Doctors used instruments that looked strangely similar to ice picks.' 'They were tied to their beds almost permanently, barely able to move a limb.' 'The sharp sense that there's a third party in the room is overpowering. The air is suddenly foul and i feel an intense awareness that i'm not welcome here.' 'The images appeared to show a man in the window holding a cross.' 'I have struggled to accept the things i saw there those nights, but whatever is there, it's not human.' Haunted Asylums, Morgues & Cemeteries.
