description: After a week of hearing ghostly noises a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve leaving an indelible burn mark and departs...A Lutheran minister no believer in Purgatory is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from demons who come to him seeking prayer consolation and refuge in his little German church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man's skepticism and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belong to Christ and yet suffer still...Hungry Souls recounts these stories and many others trustworthy Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in Purgatory. Accompanying these accounts are images from the Museum of Purgatory in Rome which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls including numerous evidences of hand prints burned into clothing and books; burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones. Riveting!
