The Little Giant® Book of "True" Ghostly Tales

Bys: Colby, Mccoy, Scarborough, et al.

Book Overview

Kids love scary stories, and these 84 tales, terrifying and true, will send shivers down their spines. Violent ghosts, lost souls, and strange specters all wander spookily; creepy illustrations heighten the horror. Read a bone-chilling account of a night in a haunted house, of a ghost who scared a dog to death, and of a terrifying face in the mirror that ended up saving a man's life. Hear the creepiest confession ever, told to a priest by a dead man. Meet some very famous ghosts--including the spirit of author Margaret Mitchell, who, it seems, wasn't so "gone with the wind." Many first-hand accounts tell of ghost ships and phantom stagecoaches; of bizarre occurrences (like a flying monk); and of a painting of a lighted castle that mysteriously "goes dark" once every century. Don't let the icy grip of fear grow too tight...if you can help it
