Read the hair-raising book that preceded the mega-selling HAUNTED TOWNS: GHOST STORIES OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR! Read it and be amazed at the tendrils of sheer imagination and fantasy, not to mention horror, that Geraldine Ryan-Lush wove so brilliantly from a childhood TRUE story she had heard around her own kitchen table in a rural community in Newfoundland, Canada. Curious to know the REAL and COMPLETE TRUE STORY this amazing book was germinated from? Find out in her recent TRUE collection of ghost stories, which is taking everyone by storm, "HAUNTED TOWNS: GHOST STORIES OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR! One of over 40 page-turning TRUE encounters, Ryan-Lush's story, "The Curse Of Thomas Mackey," reveals the spine-chilling, Irish Celtic , demonic practices of an obsessed parish priest in his curing of one of his parishioners who had been afflicted with a fairy blast. And now, read the description of the horrific tale woven from this terrible ordeal suffered by a best friend and neighbour of the author's family: "Find out what's lurking inside ....Hannigan's Hand! Many years ago, a young Dan Hannigan witnessed a horrific headless spectre and poltergeist activity which shook him to the core. A priest had to intervene, to exorcise the demon which invaded his campsite and him, following his haplessly using a remote beach trail for some summer work. While exorcising the demon from his spirit-possessed hand, the priest told Dan he was being punished by the ghosts of a tragic shipwreck which had happened there a year before. He also told him he was never to repeat what happened at the camp that terrible night, OR THE CURSE WOULD BE UPON HIM, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HEARD THE STORY. 60 years passed. Old Dan Hannigan mellowed, and began to believe the priest's warnings were all hogwash. Until a visit from an old friend and four innocent teenagers prompted the telling of the story again. Things start happening! THE SPIRITS ARE BACK, MORE VENGEFUL THAN EVER! Is old Dan Hannigan just a crusty old codger who stepped in a ghost path many years ago, or is he now....something worse!
