About this ebook
Most people think of sun, sand, and endless parties when they hear the word 'Caribbean'. In some cases all of that's true, which is why the Caribbean islands remain one of the premier destinations for sun worshippers and party goers worldwide. Here's a not so hidden secret though: the history of the Caribbean is much darker than many people realize.
The islands of the Caribbean became prized possessions during the age of exploration. Some, such as Trinidad, could act as a launching pad for further journeys into South America, while others were sought after for their fertile soil. Many plantations sprung up to take full advantage of profitable crops such as coffee and cacao. However, the colonial masters certainly weren't going to undertake the grueling labor themselves.
Thus the often violent and bloody slave trade began. Any reputable history text will tell of the suffering faced by many slaves at the hands of their masters, who were perfectly willing to sacrifice human rights in the name of greed. As if that wasn't enough, entire islands often changed hands when wars were fought between European invaders. As one can imagine, losses were incurred on both sides.
What does that have to do with the Caribbean of today? If you're a paranormal enthusiast: everything. Even a novice knows that places with violent and tragic histories are often breeding grounds for paranormal activity. Negative energy tends to build up and, with nowhere for it to go, the location often becomes a hub for ghostly activities. There's no shortage of such areas in the Caribbean.
If you're planning a visit to the Caribbean and you'd like to check out some haunted sites, but you're on a budget, look no further than the region's multitude of ghostly plantations.
There are literally hundreds of these old estates spanning across the islands although some, such as the Lopinot Plantation in Trinidad, have acquired a special reputation. These plantations were often the sites of excessive cruelty towards slaves and, in some cases, even murder.
If you're not thrilled at the idea of visiting one of those on a gloomy, overcast day, why not try your luck at one of Caribbean's spooky lighthouses? The very nature of the building, with its dead-of-night isolation, lends itself to stories of nightly visitations and strange occurrences.
Could you imagine spending a night alone, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the haunting sounds of the surrounding darkness to keep you company?
It easy to understand why the Caribbean is a 'must see' for anyone interested in paranormal phenomenon. But, with so many choice destinations, how's a paranormal enthusiast to decide where to go?
Well the first thing would be to consult this eBook for nine of the best attractions the haunted Caribbean has to offer.
This is by no means an exhaustive list and each Caribbean island has its own legends and areas of interest. The sites being presented to you are simply some of the most well known, and most active, haunted locations. Let's get started, shall we?
Damien Rollins
Damien Rollins has worked security for a number of hotels throughout the world and somehow managed to land himself a job in the Bahamas (lucky bastard). He is now, and has always been, an avid sun worshipper. Much to the embarrassment of his family, he thinks nothing of striping down to his skivvies and parading his fifty year old body on a beach full of twenty-something's. Not many things have been known to ruffle Damianb s feathers in the past, except when people started talking about the Bermuda Triangle. Damien has been out to sea in the Bermuda Triangle, quite a few times actually. He loves to fish and claims thereb s nothing quite as relaxing as kicking back in the middle of the ocean with nothing to do but wait for the next bite. He and his trio of close friends even thought about entering a tournament in Bermuda at one time, but decided against it since none of them are very good. Damien says that the strangest things heb s ever encountered in the Bermuda Triangle are the tourists, especially the newcomers who seem to have every bit of lore at their fingertips, despite never having visited before. Thatb s why he started looking into the stories in the first place. He got tired of hearing them and decided to do something about it. He reasoned that the best way to shut people up was to show them how wrong they were. Itb s never worked before but hey, thereb s always a first time. But something happened that Damien hadnb t been expecting. He anticipated laughter, some of it raucous, but the stories started drawing him in. The more he read, the more he began to think that there might be something to a few of them after all. Damien still doesnb t believe in alien abductions and what he terms b other far out BSb , but heb s willing to admit that some of the cases are pretty strange. Heb s happy to let others ferret out the mystery, but he has been keeping an extra eye on his electronic equipment when he goes out fishing lately. And heb s a lot more tolerant of newbies and their stories, even providing additional details on occasion. Heb s finally decided to share some of his burgeoning expertise with the rest of us, if only to get away from the constant urgings of his eldest son.

Reviews for True Paranormal Mystery From Haunted Islands
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An interesting little book. Some really cool places in the Caribbean worth seeing if you like ghosts. I love ghosts. Lived with a few off and on. They don't bother me. It's a fascinating subject that science really needs to explore more diligently. Just saying if science is exploring the unexplored than why not explore ghosts. You never know what you might discover. I say if you can afford to go to the Caribbean then this book gives you a starting point.
