Do you love to be spooked?
I don’t. But I am a little intrigued when it comes to true tales of haunting.
Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World has lists and backgrounds on, well, ghostly locales from around the world.
Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World really does take you around the world; there is a wealth of haunty places in the US and Canada, as well as Europe, Oceana, and a small smattering in Asia and South Africa.
Check the table of contents on the Amazon.com listing for more detail. I was surprised that my home state of Alabama only had one place listed. The state college I attended had several haunted buildings on it’s campus, one having been used as a former civil war hospital; that one didn’t make the cut to appear in Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World.
If you are seeking these sorts of thrills, the Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World would be a good resource for planning your scary trip. It has addresses and details you need for ghost hunting. It even has creepy ghostie photos.
I’m getting kind of spooked just typing this (hey, it’s dark in here!), so lets get on with the giveaway!

I’m sure my house is haunted. Often, when I’m looking for a particular pair of earrings or shoes, I can only find one. One year, I wanted to wear a certain Halloween t-shirt, but couldn’t find it anywhere. After Halloween, I found it lying on top of a pile of clothes. My mother was counting checks and left the room, and when she came back, one was missing. She never found it. Her brother gave her a birthday card with $20 in it one year, and she couldn’t find it later. About 3 years later, she walked out of her bedroom, and it was lying on the floor in the hall in front of her bedroom door.
when I take a walk there is was place spot that is always real could no matter how warm the actual air is
My daughter tapes “white noise” so she can play it back and listen for “spirits”. I’ve actually heard them say, “Help me!”

There is a neighborhood house where someone was killed that is said to be haunted. I’m too nevous to go into it.
My dog Pogo who has passed away, used to come and visit at bedtime and I could feel him walking on my bed at night. I had another dog at the time Wiley, they were best friends, I think Pogo came to visit him. Wiley passed away in Feb. and Pogo has not come to visit since. I think he was waiting for him to be with him.
We have 5 here in Indiana!!!! Including the grave of James Dean. I’ll have to go there to be spooked out. Thanks.

I was home alone and heard a little boy call my name. I looked around and there was no one there.

The spookiest thing that happened to me is lightin hit like 5 feet from me
I wish I were “sensitive” to ghosts, but sadly, I don’t think I am. All my friends have “ghostly encounter” tales, but they seem to leave me alone!

Our first apartment had a ghost. Thank you
I’ve only had one “ghostly” experience. I was getting ready at my dresser in the mirror, with my back facing the open window. I could have sworn I saw a boy dresses in colonial clothes walk by the window, but when I rushed outside and looked around, no one was there.

Our house when I was growing up was haunted. My sister and I saw things happen and we didn’t talk about it until we were older. Really creepy! I’d love this book! Thank you!
I don’t know that I would call it spooky exactly, because I believe in spirits, but when I was living in Florida, I woke up one night and my deceased grandmother was standing at the foot of my bed. She smiled at me and disappeared. Didn’t scare me at all. It gave me a sense of peace. Thanks!

My only experience was shortly after my grandma died. There was a bunch of family over at my house and we were telling stories about my grandma and all of a sudden the curtains billowed out like a blast of air was behind them. We of course checked to see if the window was open and it wasn’t.
I saw a shadow of a person in the church yard one
night.It was flowing and a white outline.Really
scary

I’ve just had strange predictions come true and a sense that someone is in the room with me. Nothing fancy.
I’ve seen ghosts a few times. My SIL saw the same one I did once so I know i’m not nuts LOL.
After my grandfather died one night I saw him standing at the foot of my bed. I got the sense he was telling me everything was going to be alright.
