The world's best "true" ghost stories  Cover Image Book Book

The world's best "true" ghost stories / C.B. Colby.

Summary:

There's no place to hide from this fantastic assortment of ghost stories, for most of them take place in the cozy towns and friendly cities of the good old U.S.A. Some are funny-scary, some are silly-weird, and some will chill your bones. But every one is supposedly "true." What a great way to spend a cold and stormy night alone!
