Among its subjects are a spirit credited with curing a heroin addiction, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, letters attributed to the Virgin Mary, Ma Barker, body snatchers, and a bride who reportedly married after her execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePublished by Pyramid Books in September 1969, this is the first printing, with a wonderfully dramatic psychedelic-era cover. Brad Steiger was the pen name of Eugene E. Olson, which explains why the copyright page credits Eugene Olson and John Pendragon while the cover names Brad Steiger and John Pendragon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhy We Love This Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA wonderfully entertaining choice for readers fascinated by the paranormal, true crime, eccentric historical characters, ghosts, miracles, and stories that blur the boundary between fact and folklore.
