Guide Picks - Top 4 Collections of True Ghost Stories |
 |
|
| To my mind, there's nothing like a good ghost story - as long as it's true. Yeah, Stephen King is okay, but fiction is not as compelling or, ultimately, as scary as the real thing. If you like reading about real encounters with ghosts, poltergeists, the possessed and the unseen, these volumes will provide hour upon restless, nerve-tingling hour of reading... preferably by candlelight during a thunderstorm. |

1) Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places
 Hands-down, this is the best collection of information, documented case studies, photos, theories and anecdotes about ghosts and hauntings published to date. Brad Steiger, one of the most prolific authors on the subject, has assembled this essential compendium that belongs on ever paranormal reader's bookshelf. People who open-mindedly read this book and still deny the phenomena of ghosts and haunting is in serious denial.
Read review.
