Dear readers! We present to you a new book from the “Golden Series” library of the newspaper “Secrets of the 20th Century”. Bohemian life - is it as simple and carefree as people who are far from the world of art believe? And what sometimes terrible price do artists pay for their talent? Indeed, often after the death of the artist, his works continue to live their own life and drive their owners crazy. Hollywood is a dream factory. But some creations released in wide release from the “town of tinsel” clearly have a curse. We will tell you about mysterious paintings and literally cursed Hollywood films in the section “Horrors of the Servants of the Muses.” Ghosts appear everywhere. In England, Moldova, Japan, Russia. Somewhere they meet more often, somewhere less often, but they have the same goal. Which? We will try to answer this question in the sections “Legends and Myths of Different Nations” and “This Strange Ghost.” The section “In the Shadow Theater” is also partly dedicated to ghosts. More precisely, their way of life, attempts to contact us mortals with the help of voices, mysterious drawings and other methods available to the afterlife inhabitants. Some of them are trying to help us in this way, others (and this is most often) are trying to harm us. The title of the section is “I curse!” speaks for itself. Most of it is devoted to the terrible events that followed immediately after the living disturbed the peace of the dead. The issue “Mysticism: the Mysterious and Inexplicable” is devoted to these and other equally interesting topics.
