Book overview from blurb on back cover of paperback:

You might not think of forests as being the dwelling place of ghosts and spirits, but this book will certainly change your mind. From the truly spooky Hoia-Baciu Forest of Romania filled with twisted trees and even more twisted phenomena to the deceptively quiet and peaceful Freetown State Forest in Massachusetts, you will delve into the chilling stories of hauntings taking place in woods and forest across the globe.

Some of these forest ghosts within these pages were murder victims, like the black-eyed phantom girls of Cannock Chase Wood in England or the Dungarvon Whooper in Blackville Forest of Canada. Other ghosts are torn by an eternal grief, like the Lady in Black in the Indiana Morgan Monroe State Forest. A handful of apparitions are still on a mission, like the haunting armored soldiers found in the Old House Woods of Virginia or the ghost of Little Ottie, still trying to find his way back to school in the Bluff Mountain region of Virginia.

Other wooded areas are filled with malevolent entities, like the infamous suicide forest Aokigahara in Japan where hundreds of people committed suicide and ghostly activity abounds. History and ghosts spanning hundreds of years like the Epping Forest and Wychwood Forest of England are explained along with the hauntings often overshadowed by legends, like the infamous Pine Barrens, home of the Jersey Devil.

Be assured after reading this book, you will never look at forests the same way again. You’ll know there is far more than meets the eye and some of them you really don’t want to hang around in after dark.

Book overview from blurb:

Are you interested in real ghost stories? How about chilling tales involving haunted ships? By haunted ships, I don’t mean ghost ships wandering abandoned seas (as disturbing as that may be), but something much more frightening: ships haunted by ghosts, some friendly and some, well, deadly.

Discover the true stories about ghosts who tear the sheet off the beds of unsuspecting guests on a famous luxury liner, ghastly crew members tragically, and possibly maliciously. Killed whose faces appear in waves beside the ship, and a lifeboat rowed by a literal skeleton crew.

Learn about horrific accidents, rumored cruses, and even exorcisms of seafaring vessels. Read about beautiful ghosts dressed to dance in one ship’s former ballroom, officers in their dress whites still hard at work, wet footprints left behind by ghosts enjoying a swimming pool no longer present, and mischievous ghosts just wanting to have some fun at the expense of the living. Find out why you shouldn’t take a modern cruise ship for granted for it might be haunted, and discover some ghosts are just trying to be helpful and comforting in the own, somewhat twisted ways.

You’ll also find true stories of haunted beaches across the globe. Find out about the types of ghosts that choose to haunt beaches, including aggressive sailors, frightening mermaid-like creatures, and spirits whose presence can be felt even more powerfully than if they were physically present.

Once you finish this book of true ghost stories involving ships and beaches, you might find yourself afraid to go near the water again.

Book overview from blurb on book cover:

Have you ever been driving down the road and seen something you just couldn’t explain? Have you ever had an encounter with another vehicle that disappeared from sight? What if you pulled over to pick up a hitchhiker only to have them vanish from sight as you drew near to them? What if someone vanished from your car? Have you ever experienced something driving that is so out of the ordinary you wouldn’t even tell your best friend?

Many people all over the world have experienced things like this. You see, ghosts don’t just haunt houses and buildings. Ghosts also haunt roads, streets, and highways and those hauntings can be every bit as terrifying as the most disturbing tale to ever be told from a haunted house.

Scotland, Wales, China, England, Australia, India, and the United States all have something in common: roads and highways that are notoriously wrought with paranormal happenings that neither science nor skeptics can adequately explain.

Within the pages of this book, you will read the true experiences of individuals who have encountered ghosts that dwell along the roads and learn the backstories behind these hauntings. Some of the roads were built over burial grounds, like interstate H-1 in Hawaii where its angry, ancient warriors summoned enough power to move construction equipment without leaving any tracks. Other roads are the site of countless accidents, like Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong or Deadman’s Curve in Ohio. Still others have hauntings that indicate the source of the ghosts goes back hundreds of years before a road was even built.

The manner in which these ghosts manifest themselves varies dramatically. Some roads are known for encounters with ghostly hitchhikers who died many years before, while others may involve animal apparitions hell-bent on self-destruction. Some people have witnessed ghostly carriages, wagons, and horse-drawn hearses of years past while others witnessed things disappearing like cars or modern delivery trucks. Many of these ghosts look like people from the last century, but one thing is certain – there is a great variety in the spirits that seem tied to the roads of the world.

Prepare yourself to never feel the same way again about driving home in the dark.

Book overview from blurb on back of paperback:

Cemeteries and graveyards are where the dead are laid to rest…but are they always at rest? These stories of haunted cemeteries may convince you otherwise. While many ghost hunters and psychics claim cemeteries are not filled with ghosts, evidence seems to indicate there are cemeteries scattered across this world that are very, very active.

There are some cemeteries infamous for their hauntings, such as Greyfriars Kirkyard and St. Louis #1 in New Orleans. Others have been the victim of urban legends, such as the infamous Stull Cemetery in Kansas that supposedly contains a Gateway to Hell. Then there are the lesser known cemeteries, such as Lona China Cemetery in Texas, with the ghost of a tall, beautiful woman cursed and torn from her love or the Deerfield Old Burying Grounds in Massachusetts, where restless victims of war crimes still seek rest.

Manifestations vary greatly. In some cemeteries, a ghost who looks downright alive may come up to you and ask you a question, though you don’t realize what they are until they disappear before your eyes. In other cases, you may feel a powerful wind blow against you, only to notice none of the trees in the cemetery are moving. In one notoriously haunted graveyard you may be struck with chest pains and shortness of breath.

In another cemetery, you may unexpectedly be flooded with vividly detailed memories that are not your own. Be cautious of weeping and moaning during a US Civil War re-enactment – it may not be from the actors. In some locations, you may have your picture only to check them later and realize that you weren’t quite as alone as you thought.

Are you ready to delve into the mysterious occurrences at haunted cemeteries the world over? If so, this is the book for you.

Did you know that objects can be haunted the same way a place can be haunted?
