The Night Side of Nature: GHOSTS and GHOST SEERS - Volumes I and II

First published in 1848, Catherine Crowe’s The Night Side of Nature quickly became one of the most influential and widely read works of Victorian supernatural literature. A cornerstone of ghost lore and occult studies, this groundbreaking book gathers together hundreds of accounts of hauntings, apparitions, prophetic dreams, spirit visitations, and spectral phenomena—woven together with Crowe’s sharp analysis and deep curiosity.

Now available in one complete edition, this volume unites both Volumes I and II into a single book, preserving the original text in full. Readers can immerse themselves in the stories that thrilled and unsettled 19th-century audiences, while also engaging with Crowe’s bold attempt to explore the boundaries between the material and spiritual worlds.

Crowe was more than just a collector of ghost stories—she was a pioneering investigator of the paranormal, seeking natural laws behind supernatural manifestations long before psychical research became a recognized field. Her work continues to inspire scholars, ghost enthusiasts, and lovers of Gothic literature alike.
