Customer Reviews

I love this book!

It's a good read! If you want something spooky to read late at night with the lights low and the rain is pouring outside, this is a great selection!

scary fun: leave the lights on for this one!!!

This is a wonderful book. Very easy to read. The stories are scary because they really happened to ordinary people. IMO these stories are much spookier than anything you'll find by Stephen King, etc. When you're reading King, you kind of know it would never happen in real life, but the incidents in this book could happen to //you// ... or me or anyone walking down the street. I don't buy that many books, but this is well worth the money. Wish they'd publish a sequel.

Straightforward, no frills.

I bought this book 10 years ago in '94 and to this day, still pick it up from time to time and re-read any one of the great stories inside. From the creepy and spine-chilling to the sweet and sentimental, these ghost stories from real life people are the kind you hear from friends sitting around after a good dinner. Whichever kind of story, your hair will stand on end more often than you expect, guaranteed. My only complaint is that USA Weekend hasn't come up with a sequel already.

Suprisingly Good Ghost Stories

I finally decided to try this book out after months of passing it up. I'm disappointed in myself for doing so, it turned out better than expected.So I expected some really bad "not-scary" ghost stories. Okay, so a lot of 'em aren't scary, but they're still good.USA Weekend's editor's had readers write in with their personal experiences with ghosts. After receiving over five hundred stories, and publishing only six for their Halloween Special, they came up with this book, including the top one hundred stories.Stories range from throughout many types of ghosts. A lot of the stories are one-time encounters, while a few lasted as long as a family was in a home. There are the scary, midnight stories with entity attacks, but then there are the sad, heartfelt stories of entities who can't find their way out because they are looking for something.This did turn out to be better than expected. Just a lot of "real" ghost stories for you to read while going to sleep, having a slumber party, or working that third shift in a huge building all by yourself (like me!).~Natalie Kilpatrick

Outstanding....

WOW! What a fantastic book! If you like real life ghost stories, then this is the book for you. I have read several book of real life ghost stories, and this is by far the best one I have read. The storeies are sad, funny, and a lot of them are down right scary! It book made such an impact on me, that I couldn't read it at night. I highly suggest this book if you like these stories. You won't be sorry, I promise. Just beware of the dark.....
