From devilish dolls and haunted Ouija boards to witchcraft disasters and doomed demonic deals, covers a wide spectrum of occult encounters that end in horror, hardship, and tragedy. If there's one theme that runs throughout this compendium, it's this: If you play with fire, you're going to get burned. In this one convenient volume you get the full editions of the following books: In the tradition of paranormal experts and authors Gabriele Amorth, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and Zak Bagans, author John Harker engages the reader with thrilling accounts of demonic and ghostly activity while at the same time offering warnings and advice to those thinking about dabbling in, or already ensnared by, the occult. For more than a century, the Ouija board has attracted the attention of a wide variety of people: paranormal thrill-seekers, adventurous adolescents, temperamental teens, tipsy party guests, and even curious skeptics. Most of the time, those who dabble with the Ouija or other spirit boards experience nothing out of the ordinary. But many times that's not the case. And many times that extraordinary experience isn't just strange, but downright . takes a look at some of those terrifying experiences, which range from nightmarish manifestations to actual physical assaults. The author's intention is to inform and engage, but primarily to warn. While the Ouija board may be marketed as a harmless game, it is indeed neither. If the accounts in this book don't convince you of that, then nothing will. Can dolls really become haunted? Can demons take possession of people's playthings? According to a large number of paranormal investigators, exorcists, and demonologists, the answer is a resounding yes. 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. The occult is many things to many people. For some, it is a path to enlightenment. Others find it a source of personal transformation. And still others consider it a doorway to the devil. While distinctions can be drawn and argued all day, what can't be argued is this: the occult is dangerous. It opens channels that are best left closed. It attracts entities that don't play by the rules. And it demands more—always more—than what was bargained for. These true-life accounts reveal the heartache and horror that can occur when people participate in the occult and, knowingly or not, release dark spirits into the human realm. Dabbler or devotee—it doesn't matter how deeply one is committed or involved. Once evil is unleashed, it treats everyone the same: hellishly.
