Supernatural History: a nonfiction reading list

American Ghost: A Family's Haunted Past in the Desert Southwest by Hannah Nordhaus

The award-winning journalist and author of The Beekeeper's Lament attempts to discover the truth about her great-great-grandmother, Julia--whose ghost is said to haunt an elegant hotel in Santa Fe--in this spellbinding exploration of myth, family history, and the American West. The dark-eyed woman in the long black gown was first seen in the 1970s, standing near a fireplace. She was sad and translucent, present and absent at once. Strange things began to happen in the Santa Fe hotel where she was seen. Gas fireplaces turned off and on without anyone touching a switch. Vases of flowers appeared in new locations. Glasses flew off shelves. And in one second-floor suite with a canopy bed and arched windows looking out to the mountains, guests reported alarming events: blankets ripped off while they slept, the room temperature plummeting, disembodied breathing, dancing balls of light. La Posada--"place of rest"--had been a grand Santa Fe home before it was converted to a hotel. The room with the canopy bed had belonged to Julia Schuster Staab, the wife of the home's original owner. She died in 1896, nearly a century before the hauntings were first reported. In American Ghost, Hannah Nordhaus traces the life, death, and unsettled afterlife of her great-great-grandmother Julia, from her childhood in Germany to her years in the American West with her Jewish merchant husband. American Ghost is a story of pioneer women and immigrants, ghost hunters and psychics, frontier fortitude and mental illness, imagination and lore. As she traces the strands of Julia's life, Nordhaus uncovers a larger tale of how a true-life story becomes a ghost story--and how difficult it is to separate history and myth.

Witches of America by Alex Mar

"Witches are gathering." Although a self-proclaimed skeptic, Alex Mar has secretly longed for revelation, envying people with unshakable beliefs. And so when she set out to direct the documentary American Mystic, she was drawn deep into the world of present-day witchcraft. Most people hear "witches" and think of horror films and Halloween, but to the one million Americans who practice Paganism, it's a nature-worshipping, polytheistic, and very real religion. Witches of America follows Mar on her trip into Paganism and the occult, from its roots in 1950s England to its current American mecca in the Bay Area; from a gathering of more than a thousand witches in the Illinois woods to the New Orleans branch of one of the world's most influential magical societies. She takes part in dozens of rituals, some vast and some intimate, alongside all sorts of people-single mothers, programmers, veterans, and one California priestess who becomes a close friend. This world gives Mar the freedom to confront what she believes is possible-or hopes might be. With the wit of Susan Orlean and the insight of Leslie Jamison, Mar provides a fresh, unexpected take on faith in America. Whether evangelical, pagan priestess, or atheist, each of us craves a system of meaning to give structure to our lives, and we sometimes find it in unexpected places. Witches of America asks the central question: Why do we choose to believe in anything at all?

The Apparitionists: A Tale of Phantoms, Fraud, Photography, and the Man Who Captured Lincoln's Ghost by Peter Manseau

A story of faith and fraud in post–Civil War America, told through the lens of a photographer who claimed he could capture images of the dead. In the early days of photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, one man seized America’s imagination. A “spirit photographer,” William Mumler took portrait photographs that featured the ghostly presence of a lost loved one alongside the living subject. Mumler was a sensation: The affluent and influential came calling, including Mary Todd Lincoln, who arrived at his studio in disguise amidst rumors of séances in the White House. Peter Manseau brilliantly captures a nation wracked with grief and hungry for proof of the existence of ghosts and for contact with their dead husbands and sons. It took a circus-like trial of Mumler on fraud charges, starring P. T. Barnum for the prosecution, to expose a fault line of doubt and manipulation. And even then, the judge sided with the defense — nobody ever solved the mystery of his spirit photography. This forgotten puzzle offers a vivid snapshot of America at a crossroads in its history, a nation in thrall to new technology while clinging desperately to belief.

The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke

A fascinating, beautifully illustrated collection of stories from the hit podcast Lore - now an online streaming series

They live in shadows - deep in the forest, late in the night, in the dark recesses of our mind. They're spoken of in stories and superstitions, relics of an unenlightened age, old wives' tales, passed down through generations. And yet, no matter how wary and jaded we have become, as individuals or as a society, a part of us remains vulnerable to them. Werewolves and wendigos, poltergeists and vampires, angry elves and vengeful spirits.

In this beautifully illustrated volume, the host of the hit podcast Lore serves as a guide on a fascinating journey through the history of these terrifying creatures, and explores not only the legends but what they tell us about ourselves. Aaron Mahnke invites us to the desolate Pine Barrens of New Jersey, where the notorious winged, red-eyed Jersey Devil dwells. Mahnke delves into harrowing accounts of cannibalism-some officially documented, others the stuff of speculation . . . perhaps. He visits the dimly lit rooms where séances take place, the European villages where gremlins make mischief, and Key West, Florida, home of a haunted doll named Robert.

The monsters of folklore have become not only a part of our language but a part of our collective psyche. Whether these beasts and bogeymen are real or just a reflection of our primal fears, we know, on some level, that not every mystery has been explained, and that the unknown still holds the power to strike fear deep in our hearts and souls.

As Aaron Mahnke reminds us, sometimes the truth is even scarier than the lore...

A Fascinating Look into the life of bees and their keepers - a great book! This book is fantastic. If you're thinking of dabbling in beekeeping as a hobby, this is a must-read. Also, if you're slightly geeky you'll really enjoy it. The author does a great job of explaining the history of beekeeping and focuses on one beekeeper in particular. She also delves into the plight of the honeybee with background on genetics, disease, pesticides and the many facets of beekeeping. I was really interested in the genetics component as that is my background - she does a great job of explaining the science of it without being too technical for the average person. The book is often funny and sad - overall, a great read! Go to Amazon

Amazing book about bees and their importance I really enjoyed reading this book. The author does a great job looking at both the micro and macro effects of the beekeeping industry and she also provides background to how the colony works. Among other things, the author spends some time discussing all the calamities the bees face and how in the recent past the bees have been put against so many different environmental catastrophes and that bees need beekeepers as much as we need them. The author transmissions effectively from one topic to another. This topic, so effectively covered in this book, is so vital to our agriculture and the author writes in such layman terms that this book can be read by any beginner and those just taking an interest in how bees influence our every day lives. Go to Amazon

Protect our pollinators Reinforced my quest to reduce / eliminate use of chemicals in the yard, as well as to plant more native plants for our native bees! This book focuses on the beekeeping industry - however it holds implications for native populations as well. We all need to work together to demand organic and sustainable farming processes. Additionally, we need to move towards eliminating chemical pesticides and herbicides that impact bees. Where are we without bees? Starving. Go to Amazon

One of the most important books you'll ever enjoy! First, this book is NOT just for those who are "into" bees, although after you read it, you WILL be! Here's a question: How much honey does a bee produce in her lifetime, which is about six weeks? (You'll have to wait until the end of the review to find out.) The writing style is engaging and informative without being dry and John Miller, who is the wax that holds the story together, will make you appreciate, if not love, the whole idea of honey and honeybees. Did you know that hives don't just sit in one place all the time, but get shipped all over the country to pollinate all those things you love? I heard the author, Hannah Nordhaus, on NPR and bought the book based on that and it has been a delightful experience, you might even say "the bee's knees"! Seriously, I really think you'll love it and want everyone else to read it, so I hope you'll give it a try. And if you guessed that a honeybee produces a pint or even a cup of honey in her lifetime---sorry. Her life's work adds up to 1/12th of a teaspoon! Go to Amazon

Hannah Nordhaus is an excellent writer. She has managed to turn 266 pages ... Hannah Nordhaus is an excellent writer. She has managed to turn 266 pages about bees and beekeepers into an un-put-downable, exciting look at our country, our foods, our way of life - and the wonderful world of bees. She introduces us to the feet on the ground, John Miller and his fellow beekeepers, who make a system of pollinate and move on quickly work - so we can find what we want at our local market. Go to Amazon

Fascinating story about the myriad benefits bees provide us. ... Fascinating story about the myriad benefits bees provide us. Also fascinating to learn how important the activity of a few humans is in keeping the bee population healthy and well distributed. Go to Amazon

but this should be read by anyone that would like first to know where their honey comes from and ... Well written description of the life of a beekeeper and their problems. I probably won't be raising any bees (wife has enough problems with our current insect populations), but this should be read by anyone that would like first to know where their honey comes from and why other food products that depend on bees may be in trouble. Go to Amazon

Disturbing and Fascinating This book is at once a fascinating history of bees and bee keeping and the bee pollination industry in the United States and an alarming chronicle of the collapsing bee industry and populations of bees. Go to Amazon

Bees our tiny broods Bees are amazing The why and how of bees. Bee keepers lament I learned much about the business and love of beekeeping Really interesting Well written and hard to put down! If you like John McPhee.... great read If you eat food, this you should read!

The honey bee, by the way, ranks just a notch above dead center of Schmidt's index, which goes like this: 1.0 Sweat Bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm. 1.2 Fire Ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch. 1.8 Bullhorn Acacia Ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek. 2.0 Bald-Faced Hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door. 2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue. 2.x Honey Bee and European Hornet: Like a match-head that flips off and burns on your skin. 3.0 Red Harvester Ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail. 3.0 Paper Wasp: Caustic and burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut. 4.0 Tarantula Hawk: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath. 4.0+ Bullet Ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel.
