But seriously.... the conference is only one month away and if you have not signed up yet, you don't want to miss it. This really is "America's Original Ghost Conference", kicked off back in 1997 before the current "ghost craze" was ever dreamed up and long, long before the current spate of so-called "ghost celebrities" had ever thought about becoming part of the field. We have another great line-up this year, along with returning favorites, and we're back at YOUR favorite location at the Lincoln Theater in Decatur, Illinois. In addition, the price is the same as it was back in 1997 -- only $50 for the entire weekend! But that price will be going up in June, so stop putting it off, see the info below and get signed up today! NEW BOOK FROM TROY TAYLOR & RENE KRUSE!
"A PALE HORSE WAS DEATH" AVAILABLE ON JUNE 1! | A PALE HORSE WAS DEATH
More American Hauntings & Horrors
By Troy Taylor & Rene Kruse
The new book -- a sequel to AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH IT -- from authors Troy Taylor & Rene Kruse will be available to order on June 1! As always, we will have signed, numbered, limited edition copies for the first readers to get their orders in on June 1! Keep an eye on your email and we'll send out a notice for the book when it's available for you to order! By popular demand, the authors have returned to America's history of disaster, calamity and death to reveal even more tales of horror! Plus, Troy & Rene will be presenting accounts from the book at the 2012 Haunted America Conference! |  | A PALE HORSE WAS DEATH: MORE AMERICAN HAUNTINGS & HORRORS: American history has seen no shortage of death, calamity and disaster and perhaps for this reason, our past is teeming with ghosts. In this sequel to their earlier book – And Hell Followed With It – authors Troy Taylor and Rene Kruse return to the blood-soaked annals of American disasters for another chilling look at the terrible tales and lingering spirits of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Blood. They have collected new stories of floods, storms, mine accidents, infernos, blizzards, train wrecks, hurricanes and more – and have added a new chapter on history’s bloodiest massacres and the ghosts they all left behind! This new collection of stories is even more horrifying than the first volume, often uncovering tales that were never told, simply because they were too terrifying to consider – from devastating railroad disasters to deadly fires, unbelievable death tolls, unimaginable storms and massacres carried out by zealots and madmen that are almost too terrible to comprehend. More frightening than the previous volume, this is one of the most disturbing books you’ll ever read! Available June 1! MORE WHITECHAPEL PRESS BOOKS ADDED TO KINDLE! BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT...
