The Haunting of America: From the Salem Witch Trials to Harry Houdini Paperback - 2009
by William J. Birnes; Joel Martin; Foreword by George Noory
From the rear cover
In the tradtion of their Haunting of the Presidents, national bestselling authors Joel Martin and William J. Birnes write Hidden America: A Paranormal History of the United States, the only book to tell the story of how paranormal events influenced and sometimes even drove political events. In a narrative retelling of American history that begins with the Salem Witch Trials of the seventeenth century, Martin and Birnes unearth the roots of America's fascination with the ghosts, goblins, and demons that possess our imaginations and nightmares. The authors examine the political history of the United States through the lens of the paranormal and investigate the spiritual events that inspired public policy: channelers and meduims who have advised presidents, and even spirits summoned to communicate with living politicians. Hidden America is a thrilling exploration of the often unexpected influences of the paranormal on science, medicine, law, government, the military, psychology, theology, death and dying, spirituality, and pop culture.
