Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Ages 10 and up. These twelve real-life stories are sure to please the reader who enjoys tales of ghosts and strange visitations. This is not a true "horror" book. The tales are based on real claims--people who say they saw or experienced the event or on historical accounts of unsolved mysteries. Willowisp Press imprint.

From the Publisher
We have had many parents and teachers tell us that this book was especially good for an attention-deficit child or reluctant reader because he or she could finish one story at a time and feel successful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short but interesting "real life" ghost story book for kids., August 25, 2008

By	Morgan Cahall "so many books so little time" (Delaware, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have a younger child (proably 8-10) who likes ghost stories that have a bit of truth in them this is proably a collection you want to check out. Has about 12 stories in it ranging from normal poltergeist and projecting stories to a few that I hadn't seen before such as the sobbing picture in delaware, ohio and the case of the little brother that waited by the rail road tracks for years to get revenge on his little brother for some reason. The only problem with this book is it does turn these encounters in to stories so some of the details of the why are omitted or invented to cover the gaps in the evidence that was found and the author says this in the intor so its not that bit a deal.
