| velvet cloak inn haunted: Haunting Experiences Diane Goldstein, Sylvia Grider, Jeannie Banks Thomas, 2007-09-15 Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts. |

| velvet cloak inn haunted: The Suburban Church Gretchen Buggeln, 2015-12-15 After World War II, America’s religious denominations spent billions on church architecture as they spread into the suburbs. In this richly illustrated history of midcentury modern churches in the Midwest, Gretchen Buggeln shows how architects and suburban congregations joined forces to work out a vision of how modernist churches might help reinvigorate Protestant worship and community. The result is a fascinating new perspective on postwar architecture, religion, and society. Drawing on the architectural record, church archives, and oral histories, The Suburban Church focuses on collaborations between architects Edward D. Dart, Edward A. Sövik, Charles E. Stade, and seventy-five congregations. By telling the stories behind their modernist churches, the book describes how the buildings both reflected and shaped developments in postwar religion—its ecumenism, optimism, and liturgical innovation, as well as its fears about staying relevant during a time of vast cultural, social, and demographic change. While many scholars have characterized these congregations as “country club” churches, The Suburban Church argues that most were earnest, well-intentioned religious communities caught between the desire to serve God and the demands of a suburban milieu in which serving middle-class families required most of their material and spiritual resources. |

| velvet cloak inn haunted: All Souls' Night Hugh Walpole, 2022-08-16 Hugh Walpole's 'All Souls' Night' stands as a compelling collection of short stories, eloquently immersing readers in a world that bridges the mundane with the spectral. Walpole's writing, characterized by a blend of brisk narrative and evocative description, holds a distinguished place among early 20th-century literature. With a nuanced touch, Walpole explores the nuances of human experience and emotion within the spectral framework of All Hallows' Eve, a time traditionally associated with the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead. This collection provides an insightful consideration of the human condition, artfully presented through the lens of the supernatural. The literary heritage embraced by DigiCat Publishing serves to bolster the relevance of Walpole's narratives, granting them a timeless quality in both form and substance. Hugh Walpole was an English novelist with an adept proficiency for storytelling. His rich experiences, including service as a Red Cross volunteer in Russia during the tumultuous days of World War I, undoubtedly influenced the depth and gravity of his writing. Walpole's recognition of humanity's innermost fears and longings is palpable across his oeuvre, and 'All Souls' Night' is no exception. It reflects a writer keenly attuned to the complexities of the human psyche, shaped by personal history as much as by the literary currents of his time. 'All Souls' Night' is recommended for readers who savor masterful storytelling infused with an element of the uncanny. Walpole's anthology is an excellent choice for those with an appreciation for literary richness and a curiosity about the interplay between the natural and the supernatural. Thus, with spirit and earnestness, DigiCat Publishing invites all ardent devotees of world literature to embrace these tales, ensuring they continue to resonate with audiences who are both new to Walpole's work and those already acquainted with his literary legacy. |

| velvet cloak inn haunted: The Spectral Arctic Shane McCorristine, 2018-05-01 Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships. |

| velvet cloak inn haunted: A Taste of Power Elaine Brown, 1993-12-01 Profound, funny ... wild and moving ... heartbreaking accounts of a lonely black childhood.... Brown sees racial oppression in national and global context; every political word she writes pounds home a lesson about commerce, money, racism, communism, you name it ... A glowing achievement.” —Los Angeles Times Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: “I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?” It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization, mobilizing black communities and white supporters across the country—but relentlessly targeted by the police and the FBI, and increasingly riven by violence and strife within. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery. Brown’s story begins with growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Philadelphia and attending a predominantly white school, where she first sensed what it meant to be black, female, and poor in America. She describes her political awakening during the bohemian years of her adolescence, and her time as a foot soldier for the Panthers, who seemed to hold the promise of redemption. And she tells of her ascent into the upper echelons of Panther leadership: her tumultuous relationship with the charismatic Huey Newton, who would become her lover and her nemesis; her experience with the male power rituals that would sow the seeds of the party's demise; and the scars that she both suffered and inflicted in that era’s paradigm-shifting clashes of sex and power. Stunning, lyrical, and acute, this is the indelible testimony of a black woman’s battle to define herself. |
