Visit the lonely farmhouse where an animal spirit haunted an innocent family.
Walk the battlefield of Gettysburg where echoes of the Civil War battle still resonate today.
Go behind the walls of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, the tuberculosis facility in Kentucky where thousands lost their lives to an insidious disease—some of whom still walk its empty hallways.
Journey to Tombstone, Arizona, home of the famous 1881 O.K. Corral gunfight, where ghosts apparently still roam the entire town.
Tour the Borley Rectory, which was said to be the most haunted house in England.
Investigate "The Enfield Poltergeist" and "The Black Monk of Pontefract" (featured in the movies The Conjuring 2 and When the Lights Went Out, respectively).
Meet the Bell Witch, the malicious poltergeist that tormented a family in 19th-century Tennessee.
Venture behind the walls of haunted prisons, hotels, inns, hospitals, mansions, and more.
And meet a whole host of other supernatural manifestations, haunting this bone-chilling collection of true ghost stories!
Unsettling and enthralling, Ghostly Encounters will linger in your thoughts long after you've turned the last page! Can you face the darkness, or will the darkness find you first?
