Synopsis

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 other trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in purgatory. Included in this edition is a brief audio tour of the "Museo del Purgatorio" (Museum of Purgatory) in Rome, which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls: numerous evidences of handprints burned into clothing, books and artifacts - burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones.

If a child's sins kept him/her in Purgatory, what chance do I have of ever getting out of there and into heaven, because my age of 5 tim......more

Amazing read! Pray for the poor souls! I found it so interesting that from one account, the souls said that they are often present around their living family members and friends for years. Here's what they said: "They act as if we don't exist anymore. God's justice commands us to be silent. But we sta......more

Goodreads review by Bernadette on February 18, 2017

This book was stunning. Despite being Catholic and having Purgatory as a part of my theology, I never really was able to reflect on what it was, what it would be like, or how entwined it is with the living world. I didn't even know there was a whole chapel dedicated to preserving evidence of the app......more
