Ghosts exist.
Harrow, it's said, has had millions of ghostly visitations, perhaps as many as ten million.
The spectral evidence is there, at the house itself. It is a house of ancient sorcery and terrible crime.
Do you believe in ghosts? Want to know the story behind ghosts and hauntings?
Harrow is a sprawling estate in the Hudson Valley, outside of the town of Watch Point. It was built before 1900, and the man who built it was an associate of Aleister Crowley. Isis Claviger, the notorious psychic, wrote a book, The Infinite Ones, about the various manifestations at Harrow. It is rumored that she is buried in the walls of the house.
Read the books of Harrow, including Nightmare House, Mischief, The Infinite, and The Abandoned. But be forewarned: the spirits of the dead reach out to the living with hunger.

How was Gordon Raglan murdered? The police said it could not be solved - in winter, in the smokehouse where Nemo and his brother and sister had played their Dark Game as children, the body had been found.
Was the place haunted? Or was some maniac loose on Burnley Island?
Find out more in The Hour Before Dark, the harrowing account of the mystery of the house called Hawthorne.
Go to http://www.DouglasClegg.com for free cool stuff surrounding this and other books. The Hour Before Dark is a murder story that meets a haunting on Burnley Island, off the coast of New England, when Nemo Raglan returns to his family home where his father has been killed by a maniac...
The movie was optioned, with script by Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar.
Facts: Based on two islands off the coast of New England called Fisher's Island and Martha's Vineyard.
Clegg visited Martha's Vineyard as a teenager and adult, and has explored Fisher's Island by bicycle.
Clegg lives on the coast of New England, currently.
One character was inspired by the story of John McCain when he was a POW and Clegg was in high school with McCain's son. Clegg didn't know Obama back then, but he wanted to give him equal time in this note out of fairness.
Clegg chose the name Nemo for his protagonist because of Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- a childhood love of Clegg's.
Clegg believes many children play "dark games" - those secret rituals and games that get one through traumatic moments of chilhood, which need to be discarded or worked-through once one reaches adulthood.
Clegg's background includes magazine work, TV work, and publishing. He has been writing fiction since he was eight years old.
Clegg's father was an officer in the Navy, in submarines, but bears no resemblance to Gordon Raglan in the novel.
While The Hour Before Dark is a work of fiction, Clegg believes that there can be hauntings, even if it's a psychological issue for the person being haunted - doesn't make it any less real.
Clegg's favorite popular horror novel: a toss-up between Stephen King's The Shining and Thomas Tryon's The Other.

The evidence of t
Was Mordred the lover of a famous knight of King Arthur's Roundtable?
The evidence of this book about Mordred certainly suggests the rumors were true -- that the son of Arthur and Morgan Le Fay was seduced by a knight who had abandoned his king.
Read Mordred Bastard Son by Douglas Clegg -- now available in trade paperback.
If you're an Arthurian fan, you may enjoy this; if you're a fan of gay legends, you may enjoy it; and if you love fiction that tells "the other side of the coin" of the Arthurian legends, you probably just hit pay dirt.
This is the mini-teaser video for Mordred, Bastard Son, a novel by Douglas Clegg. Visit http://www.DouglasClegg.com for free ebooks, screensavers & more.
Facts:
Clegg's dream would be to cast either Jonathan Rhys-Meyers or Gael Garcia Bernal in the role of Mordred. Or Jamie McElvoy. Or...well, who would you choose for Mordred?
For Lancelot? Open to suggestions.
Clegg based the setting of this book on several nights' stay in an ancient forest in Brittany when he was in his early 20s, on a side-trip from Paris, where he was living at the time.
Clegg's favorite memory of the forest at Paimpont was an area called the Val sans retour -- the valley of no return -- where, legend had it, Morgan le Fay lured youths to their untimely deaths with her beauty and glamour.
Clegg sold the novel over dinner to a publisher with the words, "Mordred is gay, and his lover is Lancelot."
Clegg's intent was to write a novel of legendary significance so that young gay people might see themselves in a mythic tale, which is rarely done (although it was done by the great, late Mary Renault in novels based on Greek myth and history.)
Clegg decided to go with fantasy rather than history or rumored history, but he did go to early sources of Arthurian legends to create Guinevere as a provincial Roman princess, to find that Mordred was not _always_ considered the bad guy, and to find the differing accounts of the Arthurian stories.
In the book, Clegg called a certain rocky clime the Dragon's Mount, which he based on an idea of Mont St Michel, pre-Christian era. Given that St. Michael slew the dragon -- and a dragon often meant "pagan deity," -- and since cathedrals, chapels and other places of worship often were used to bury the pagan holy spots -- that it might be likely that this location once was a pagan temple or sacred place.
Clegg has been "civilly-unioned" to his partner, Raul, for just a few years (per the law) but they have been a couple for just about 20 years as of 2008.
They live on the coast of New England, with a dog, cat, and 2 rabbits -- all rescues, and Clegg encourages readers to rescue animals from local pounds, shelters, and rescue groups rather than buy them in pet stores.
