Enter if you dare… the afterlife awaits!

Ghosts. Spirits. Strange encounters in dark hallways. Sudden chills when no breeze is blowing. Ghosts and the Afterlife dives straight into the world of the unexplained, collecting the most startling, eerie and laugh-out-loud bizarre stories from places where the living and the dead seem to cross paths.

Are ghosts real? Plenty of people say yes—especially those who’ve seen something they can’t explain. From ancient castles and abandoned prisons to school corridors, hospital wards and bedrooms where the shadows feel just a little too alive, this book explores the locations where ghostly activity refuses to stay quiet.

What actually happens in a near-death experience? Why do so many people describe the same visions, the same voices, the same mysterious feeling of being pulled back? And what about imaginary friends—are they always imaginary?

Packed with strange encounters, chilling folklore, eyewitness accounts and weird-but-true moments, this book mixes scares with humour and curiosity. Each story opens a door into a different corner of the afterlife—unfinished business, restless spirits, mysterious signs, creepy coincidences and the unforgettable moments when the world of the living feels just a little too crowded.

Ghosts and the Afterlife invites you to explore the biggest, boldest and most unsettling question of all: Is anyone ever really gone? Only one way to find out—turn the page.

About the Author

Jonathan J. Moore is a Melbourne writer whose long career has taken him through true crime, history, biography and the stranger side of human experience. His books have travelled far and wide—sometimes farther than he has— but his favourite stories have always been the odd ones. The myths, mysteries and “you’re-not-going-to-believe-this” moments that spark curiosity long after the lights go out. 
A born storyteller and experienced teacher, Jonathan has a knack for turning unbelievable tales into irresistible reads. His newest venture, the Unbelievable but True series, brings together everything he loves: humour, weird facts, spooky encounters and the thrill of a good yarn shared with a wide audience.
When he’s not writing or chasing down the next curious rumour, Jonathan can often be found telling stories, exploring dusty archives, or wondering whether that noise in the hallway really was the wind.

Peter Fairfax enjoys drawing the kinds of things most people would run away from: werewolves, tentacles, haunted shadows and anything with far too many teeth. A comic-book tragic and monster enthusiast, he brings humour and just the right amount of creepiness to every page. When he isn’t illustrating ghosts and aliens for Unbelievable but True, he’s creating art for graphic novels or dreaming up his next wonderfully weird creature.
