This Was a Terrible Idea: What not to do in haunted situations

By Brian Nyback

This Was a Terrible Idea: What Not to Do in Haunted Situations is a collection of humorous, standalone stories centered around one simple concept, when faced with the paranormal, making the wrong decision can make everything much worse.

Each chapter presents a different scenario involving haunted places, strange occurrences, and unexplained events. From knocking on doors with no one there to interacting with objects that should have been left alone, every situation follows the same pattern: a clear warning is ignored, and the consequences quickly spiral out of control.

Blending comedy with the unexpected, this short read explores how curiosity, denial, and overconfidence can turn even the smallest strange moment into complete chaos. While the situations may be unusual, the decisions are all too familiar.

At its core, this book is a lighthearted look at what not to do when things stop making sense, and why some rules are best followed.
