Historia ilustrada de los fantasmas

Strange noises, voices that seem to come from nowhere, footsteps that make the parquet floor creak in the middle of the night, a sudden draft of icy air that chills the room... Have you just witnessed a ghostly presence or is someone trying to trick you into make you believe in spirits and demons? After the success of Illustrated History of UFOs, Adam Allsuch Boardman surprises us with a new illustrated guide to one of the best-documented paranormal phenomena throughout history and geography: ghost apparitions.For centuries, ancient cultures, religions, and countless shamans, researchers, mediums, and ghost hunters have been in charge of trying to explain the phenomenon of life after death. In an apparently skeptical tone but focused on facts and analysis, Allsuch displays in these pages a visual panorama of the phantasmagorical that, at the very least, will leave us speechless: the famous Clock Lane apparition in London, the Victorian séances, the mysterious submarines of the First World War or the legend of the ghost highway. A well-documented and visually very attractive work that ranges from the first Babylonian spirits to the incursion of ghosts into pop culture, literature, cinema or television.
