The Amherst Haunting The Infamous True Story of a Young Girl Possessed by The Devil The great Amherst Mystery, which took place in Amherst, Nova Scotia, is among the most compelling hauntings of the late 19th century. The truth about the events that took place there are hotly debated to this day. In this compelling debut novel, author Kendall Roy delves into the lives of the family that lived there and the fateful events that transpired, marking the family's daughter Esther as the target of several sinister poltergeists. Much to her family's horror, her body was painfully tormented as the spirits took her over. Doctors and priests were called into the house, but all efforts to save her were futile. The story of what took place in that fateful home was already a local sensation when Walter Hubbell, an actor with an insatiable curiosity of the paranormal, arrived at the cottage of Dan Teed in the summer of 1879. Over the course of his six week stay, Hubbell himself was first person witness to a variety of unexplainable and dangerous poltergeist-like events. This is his story. Fantastic debut novel. A scary ghost story about demon possession and poltergeists that will keep you turning the page
