Welcome to the Boneyard Book Journal

In the dimly lit corners of the ancient library, there lurked a creature unlike any other - a book consuming ghoul. With an insatiable appetite for knowledge, this shadowy figure roamed the endless rows of shelves, its sharp eyes scanning for its next literary feast.
Pages rustled as the ghoul snatched a tome from the shelf, clutching it tightly to its chest. The smell of aged paper and ink filled the air as the creature delved into the words, devouring each sentence with fervor. It was said that the mere touch of its fingertips could bring life to the most mundane of texts, breathing magic into the words on the page.
Whispers among the library patrons spoke of encounters with the elusive book ghoul - some claimed to have seen flashes of its glowing eyes peering out from behind tall stacks of books, others swore they heard its low, guttural growls echoing through the halls late into the night.
But despite its eerie reputation, the book ghoul was not feared by those who truly understood its nature. For within its dark, shrouded form lay a profound love for the written word, a relentless thirst for the stories and secrets held within the covers of each book it devoured.
And so the book ghoul continued its endless quest through the labyrinthine corridors of the library, forever in search of new tales to consume, new worlds to explore. A guardian of knowledge, a keeper of stories - the enigmatic ghoul remained a mysterious and fascinating figure, forever entwined with the boundless magic of the written word.

Ghost Stories VOL I

Book overview from blurb on Amazon:

Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction – And These Stories Would Tell You Why.

Have you ever felt a sudden drop in temperature around you?

Have you ever experienced a strange, soft voice whispering in your ears?

Do you believe that there’s a world beyond our tangible world – things that can only be felt and not seen?

If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, then you’re not the only one.

About 46% of Americans believe that ghosts are real, with a staggering number of them reporting to have experienced paranormal activities at some point in their lives.

Ghost stories have had a special place in many cultures throughout history. They are the portal to connect with a world that resides beyond our imagination.

We are drawn to supernatural stories and mysteries – they have the power to evoke curiosity and widen our perception.

But the stories you’re about to uncover aren’t some spiritual mumbo jumbo… each one has a compelling truth attached to it supported by convincing evidence.

In Ghost Stories, you’ll unearth a goldmine of haunting stories that will leave goosebumps from head to toe. Inside, you’ll discover:

·       20 bone-chilling ghost stories that will challenge your sanity and force you to question reality

·       The story of the ghost who testified to a murder mystery

·       The frightening secret hiding in an innocent-looking doll

·       The mystery behind the never-ending construction of the Winchester Mystery House

·       The silent empire that exists beneath the streets of the ‘City of Love’

·       Does science approve of paranormal activities – and does it matter?

And so much more!

A horror movie or book may scare the soul out of your body, but you at least have the relief that it’s all fiction. What’s more terrifying is when such stories have happened in real life… and make Stephen King’s stories look like lullabies.

While these supernatural stories might seem fabricated, there's always some truth in them… and that’s what makes them more terrifying.

There are powers in the cosmos that can’t be explained, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s always an explanation – it depends on how willing you are to explore things further...
