True tales of ghosts, hauntings, and the possessed....

All ghost stories are scary to some degree, but the ones we believe are by far the spookiest. As we read these tales, clutching at our blankets, staring anxiously at our closets, part of our brains are devoted to one simple question....

Why am I so scared?

In truth, the answer is simple. We are terrified of these real life ghost stories because we understand one fundamental concept - if it can happen to them, it can happen to you.

Humans channel their empathy to experience specific situations that other people have endured. This allows us to sympathize with those who are down, and celebrate with others when they have a success in life. And it is this ability to empathize that makes us afraid of the small scratching sounds coming from the reciter's attics, or the sound of phantom footsteps by the stairwell....

We know, deep down, that such horrifying experiences could have happened to us instead.

And when they finally do, they can turn the most unwavering skeptic into a true believer. Spirits and demons are out there in our world, lurking in the shadows, biding their time. They have all of eternity laid out at their feet....

Here is a preview of what's inside....

• The boy by the road
• The devil in the Ouija board
• A doppelganger at the lodge
