Product information
  • Hungry Souls: Supernatural Visits, Messages, and Warnings from Purgatory
  • Stories of supernatural visits from souls in purgatory
  • A fascinating & sobering account of the afterlife
  • Church-verified testimonies & relics
  • Includes photos from Rome's "Museum of Purgatory"

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: Supernatural Visits, Messages, and Warnings from Purgatory recounts these stories and many other 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. More than just a collection of "Catholic ghost stories,"  Hungry Souls also discerns from these accounts important truths about the afterlife, about God's mercy, and ultimately, about the urgent necessity to pray and perform sacrifices for our brothers and sisters in purgatory, and to reform our lives so as to shorten our own stay in that place of real and awful suffering.

Good content worth your time to ponder

"Someone recommended this book to me and before I bought one, I discovered my son already had a copy. I read his copy but didn't want to give it back because I kept referring to certain parts of the text so I finally just had to purchase one for myself. I will be reading it for the third time and plan to keep it handy."

Q&A

Does this book have the Nihl Obstat and Imprimatur?
Thank you for your question. The book focuses on testimonies and Church-approved accounts (such as those of saints), but it does not hold a formal Nihil Obstat or Imprimatur, though many accounts are church verified and taken from exhibits in the Museum of Purgatory in Rome's Cheisa del Sacro Cuore.
Is this appropriate for teenagers or young adults?
Thank you for your question. This book details Church verified accounts of visions, revelations and supernatural experiences including near death experiences and visits from the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The content is mature so it would depend on the maturity of your child.
