The Black Book of Burrillville
This book is a collection of unusual deaths that occurred in the Burrillville area, where the famous "Conjuring House" is located. This book was used to claim several deaths/suicides had taken place within the Conjuring house. Extensive (and proper) research proved these claims to be false, and found no deaths had occurred within the house. For more information, see Kenny's article Correcting the Conjuring House History
Legally Haunted House
This rare copy of Reader's Digest contains the original stories, written by Helen Ackley, which caused a court hearing to declare a New York house to be legally "haunted." Despite what many paranormal enthusiasts swear, this ruling applies to reputation only, not that the house is actually haunted.
A Children's Book of Demons
Author - Aaron Leighton. Released in July 2019, this book provides a playful twist on the classic idea of "summoning demons". Rather than focusing on the common theme of "demons are evil," Leighton describes helpful demons such as Corydon, who's comedic skills will give you a laugh when you're feeling down. There's also Dulcis, who can turn boring, healthy food into candy. Another demon is Flatulus, who's farts will throw someone (like a bully) off your trail and help you get out of danger. Unfortunately, the author received a lot of hat mail from Christian fundamentalists, and when the first printing sold out, no more were made. It's a cute book, with no ill intentions whatsoever. Hardcore beliefs and a lack of understanding caused the book to go out of prints. On the plus side, it has become a collector's item - currently worth almost $700.
