- The haunting of Hecate Cavendish / by Brackston, Paula,author.;
"England, 1881. Hereford cathedral stands sentinel over the city, keeping its secrets, holding long forgotten souls in its stony embrace. Hecate Cavendish speeds through the cobbled streets on her bicycle, skirts hitched daringly high, heading for her new life as Assistant Librarian. But this is no ordinary collection of books. The cathedral houses an ancient chained library, wisdom guarded for centuries, mysteries and stories locked onto its worn, humble shelves. The most prized artifact, however, is the medieval world map which hangs next to Hecate's desk. Little does she know how much the curious people and mythical creatures depicted on it will come to mean to her. Nor does she suspect that there are lost souls waiting for her in the haunted cathedral. Some will become her dearest friends. Some will seek her help in finding peace. Others will put her in great peril, and, as she quickly learns, threaten the lives of everyone she loves"--- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Novels.; Librarians; Libraries; Maps; Magic;

Jo Jones has always had a little trouble fitting in. As a neurodivergent, hyperlexic book editor and divorced New Yorker transplanted into the English countryside, Jo doesn't know what stands out more: her Americanisms or her autism. After losing her job, her mother, and her marriage all in one year, she couldn't be happier to take possession of a possibly haunted (and clearly unwanted) family estate in North Yorkshire. But when the body of the moody town groundskeeper turns up on her rug with three bullets in his back, Jo finds herself in potential danger--and she's also a potential suspect. At the same time, a peculiar family portrait vanishes from a secret room in the manor, bearing a strange connection to both the dead body and Jo's mysterious family history. With the aid of a Welsh antiques dealer, the morose local detective, and the Irish innkeeper's wife, Jo embarks on a mission to clear herself of blame and find the missing painting, unearthing a slew of secrets about the town--and herself--along the way. And she'll have to do it all before the killer strikes again.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Americans; Autism; Book editors; Hyperlexia; Manors; Murder; Painting; Secrecy; Suspects (Criminal investigation);

- Canada's most haunted [videorecording] : paranormal encounters in the Great White North / by World Wide Multi Media (Firm);
Canada has a rich tradition of frightening paranormal activity from one end of the country to the other. Beginning with British Columbia, you will find White Rock Players Club, a 100 year old playhouse that has more than its share of ghostly characters. The Four-Mile House, an upscale restaurant that was once a bordello, contains entities in search of mischief and vengeance. At the Beban House, a mysterious ghost child can be found slamming doors, hurling objects and frightening visitors. And don't forget Andrade House, where an eccentric artist shares his studio with the ghost of a young woman. Moving on to Ontario, we find the Bytown Museum at the gateway to the Rideau Canal, which may also be a gateway to the paranormal; as well as Sax's Fish and Chips which is home to as many as 16 spirits. The Halifax Club in Nova Scotia is a private gentlemen's club known for its elite membership, and the ghosts of some of these men still call it home. Canadian ghosts are also fond of the water. In St. John, New Brunswick the frigate Genii was lost with all hands - but one sailor lingers on in spirit, haunting both the beach where his lifeless body washed ashore and the nearby mansion where he was laid out for burial. In Quebec a thirty-foot lake monster stalks the peaceful waters of Lake Memphremagog. In British Columbia, a decommissioned freighter known as the Queen Mary is haunted by a foul tempered ghost with an appetite for destruction.

- The whispering house / by Brooks, Elizabeth,1979-author.;
"Simmering and mysterious, The Whispering House trades in secrets: of a son haunted by his family's unsettling past, and a young woman uncovering the truth about her sister's last days. On a warm summer's day by the English seaside, twenty-three-year-old Freya spies a pale, pillared house: Byrne Hall. Before she can think twice, she's stepped inside to an ornate foyer featuring a striking portrait that evokes her late sister, Stella, whose untimely fall from a cliff years before still haunts Freya and her father. When an inexplicable longing leads her back to Byrne Hall several weeks later, she meets Cory, a handsome and enigmatic young artist who remains in the house to care for his ailing mother. Though she plans to stay for just a few days, Freya finds herself extending her stay longer and longer, driven to remain not just by Byrne Hall itself, but this strange mother-and-son pair who inhabit it. Freya's decision to linger in this mysterious, centuries-old house sets off an unexpected chain of events that will lead her to question who she is, and what really happened to Stella. As the days stretch on, a kind of shadow communication with her late sister begins as Freya explores the estate, and the relationships that Stella formed there. In prose as lush and atmospheric as Byrne Hall itself, Elizabeth Brooks weaves a simmering, propulsive tale in The Whispering House of art, sisterhood, and all-consuming love: the ways it can lead us towards tenderness, nostalgia, and longing, as well as shocking acts of violence"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Sisters; Secrecy; Suicide;

- The woo woo : how I survived ice hockey, drug raids, demons, and my crazy Chinese family / by Wong, Lindsay,1987-author.;
"In this jaw-dropping, darkly comedic memoir, a young woman comes of age in a dysfunctional Asian family who blame their woes on ghosts and demons when they should really be on anti-psychotic meds. Lindsay Wong grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic grandmother and a mother who was deeply afraid of the "woo-woo" -- Chinese ghosts who come to visit in times of personal turmoil. From a young age, she witnessed the woo-woo's sinister effects; when she was six, Lindsay and her mother avoided the dead people haunting their house by hiding out in a mall food court, and on a camping trip, in an effort to rid her daughter of demons, her mother tried to light Lindsay's foot on fire. The eccentricities take a dark turn, however, and when Lindsay starts to experience symptoms of the woo-woo herself, she wonders whether she will suffer the same fate as her family. At once a witty and touching memoir about the Asian immigrant experience and a harrowing and honest depiction of the vagaries of mental illness, The Woo-Woo is a gut-wrenching and beguiling manual for surviving family, and oneself."--- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Wong, Lindsay, 1987-; Wong, Lindsay, 1987-; Wong, Lindsay, 1987-; Wong, Lindsay, 1987-; Chinese Canadians; Psychoses; Psychoses;
