After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. Shereproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses saidin her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelibleburn mark, and departs... A Lutheran minister, no believer inpurgatory, is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from demonswho come to him seeking prayer, consolation, and refuge in his littleGerman church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man sskepticism, and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belongto Christ and yet suffer still... Hungry Souls recounts these storiesand many others trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthlyvisitations from the dead in purgatory. Accompanying these accounts areimages from the Museum of Purgatory in Rome, which contains relics ofencounters with the Holy Souls, including numerous evidences of handprints burned into clothing and books burn marks that cannot beexplained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones. More thanjust a collection of Catholic ghost stories, Hungry Souls also discernsfrom these accounts important truths about the afterlife, about God smercy, and ultimately, about the urgent necessity to pray and performsuffrages for our brothers and sisters in purgatory, and to reform ourlives so as to shorten our own stay in that place of real and awfulsuffering.
