Haunted Antiques

This book was helpful. I have antiques that we found in a funeral home. If anyone is interested. The haunting story behind them is very interesting and any advise is welcomed....

Leave the lights on!

Bad enough ghosts give ya the spooks now objects now that just sends goosebumps up my arms. I loved this book so much I read it aloud with my husband. Now at night instead of looking for ghost I am looking to see if any of the furniture or knick nacks are going to go flying through the air :O). Great Book I highly recommend it!!

Great Book

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It makes you take a second look at antiques! Ed weaves a spell around you with each and every story and makes you read the book from beginning to end without putting it down. From haunted dolls to creepy cradles... this is a must read for all who are interested in "things that go bump in the night".

You never know what you're getting! This is great!

You catch glimpses of them out the corner of your eye; those quick little shadows that just weren't there before you brought home that fine old antique you picked up so cheaply at that sad little shop. There it is again! You're sure you saw it that time! What's going on here? Could it be that that bargain antique is somehow . . . naaaw! But, according to author/antique dealer Ed Okonowicz in "Possessed Possessions" and "Possessed Possessions 2," those cut-rate antiques might very well be haunted indeed. And it's not just antiques. Any object that was important to or cherished by someone in life, he suggests, can be watched over by that someone's . . . ghost? . . . later on. With a generous 20 chilling stories per volume, "Possessed Possessions" and "Possessed Possessions 2" chronicles the tribulations of ordinary people who liked antiques until they brought home THE piece. Dolls with utterly lifelike eyes, well-used mirrors (maybe too well-used?), chairs that can't be content sitting in rooms alone, record players that just can't seem to shake the habit, and over three dozen more of the most dissatisfied objects ever to cause a domestic uproar will have you thinking twice about that incredibly inexpensive and thoroughly collectible must-have. But Orkonowicz never claims the stories he has collected in his "Possessed Possessions" series are in any way answers to the great question of whether or not ghosts really exist or not, and he never makes a statement of personal belief one way or the other. In fact, he insists in his introduction, the spine-chilling tales present many more questions than answers, and he never actively seeks out the mysterious stories.Are the too-lifelike eyes in that exquisite old flea market-acquired portrait really looking at you? If even a fraction of the troubled collectibles enthusiasts Okonowicz has attracted over the years are to be believed, those eyes might indeed be watching. -Sharon Galligar Chance

ED OKONOWICZ CONTINUES TO SEND CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE

This book along with his others continue to capture my intrigue and imagination. Ed has a way of telling a story that simply won't let you put the book down until it is done and keeps you in suspense waiting for his next issue.
