Ghost Wall: Sarah Moss

Product Information

How could these things be related? Some strange experiences that people blame on ghosts involve unexplained sounds or movements. A window may seem to open all by itself. But what if someone opened it and you just didn’t notice because you were so absorbed in something else? That’s a lot more likely than a ghost, French says. Your brain may also add faces to images of random noise. Research has shown that patients who experience visual hallucinations are more likely than normal to experience pareidolia — see faces in random shapes, for instance.

It was a very fun and fascinating horror book, it was written well, it had a lot of education in this field for anyone that’s interested in learning about spirits and ghost hunting. It wasn’t too scary, it had a fun element of mystery behind it having to solve what happened to the spirits and how to remove them.No matter what you've done or what you fear, spirit your place to stay is no longer here. Your life & time is now complete.Move into the light that shines before you, then in time you'll be cleansed."

We also learn that he is obsessed with keeping her away from boys, and is not above beating the crap out of her and her mother. He doesn’t seem to care whether the Professor or the college students notice, either, as he believes it’s his right to assert his will over them.

BookBrowse Review

The ancient Britons built ghost walls to ward off enemy invaders, rude barricades of stakes topped with ancestral skulls. When the group builds one of their own, they find a spiritual connection to the past. What comes next but human sacrifice? A girl is bound, frightened and about to be cast into a bog. All of this happens, not just with the acquiescence of her family and neighbours, but with their encouragement. An acceptance of the ways of ritual sacrifice; of the lure of a bountiful harvest, the necessity of offering something to the land. It's no surprise that the sod-turning opening of Sarah Moss's sixth novel begins in the past. In her previous work, she moved easily from Victorian Manchester to 19th century Japan, and while the nightmare prologue of Ghost Wall may be historical, it haunts the present-day dreams of a teenage girl called Silvie. That is, when she manages to sleep, given that her nights are spent in a rudimentary bed, handmade by her tyrannical father Bill, who has brought Silvie and her mother on an experimental archaeology trip. Along with a university professor and three students, they are there to live immersively in the past, recreating life in the Iron Age. If they do this inexplicably and to areas of the room where there is nothing, it might be time to look for more signs of spirits. 2.
