The Phantom of the Opera


This is the cover of an '86 hardcover version of the original 1911 book which I picked up at a library book sale.


Here's a couple of great pictures from the silent 1925 version of the Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin. Pictures courtesy of the book Classics Of The Horror Film by William K. Everson.

Ghost Files by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson with Michael Jan Friedman

 
This is a cool book from '07 that features some great, real ghost stories and photos from T.A.P.S. aka Ghosthunters. The stories are about ghosthunts that are too evil and scary to feature on the Syfy TV series. I scanned a couple of ghost photos featured in the book. My fave story is about a box of golf balls that move by themselves and form an arrow in a haunted apt. Seems the former tenant was a real, bonafide devil worshiper and he left something evil behind after he moved out. Great book!
