It Was a Dark and Creepy Night
This collection of paranormal stories from around the world has something for everyone from ghosts to UFOs to even angels. When internationally renowned paranormal investigator Joshua P. Warren set out to find these stories, he had three strong criteria: the stories had to be true, short, and genuinely scary. Warren supplements each story with his insight as a paranormal expert, so although these tales are short, the experience of reading them is guaranteed to send a chill down any reader’s spine.
The Haunted House Diaries
Paranormal investigator William J. Hall found a paranormal goldmine when he visited his relative Donna Fillie at her house in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut. Built in 1790, the house is so haunted that Ed and Lorraine Warren called it “Ghost Central.” Donna’s family had been haunted by ghostly visitors for decades, and she wrote it all down in her journal—which is contained in its entirety here. Supplemented by background information from Hall, Donna’s experiences make it clear that something eerie is going on in the house.
