Ghostly Encounters: Terrifyingly True Hauntings (The Real Unexplained! Collection)

Ghostly Encounters: Terrifyingly True Hauntings by paranormal investigator Richard Estep is an excellent addition to the libraries of anyone interested in hauntings and ghost hunting. Estep provides an in-depth history of some of the most haunted locations in North America and England. These 18 investigations will not only raise the hairs on your neck but also shed light on why these areas are haunted in the first place. By giving the whole story, Estep goes beyond history into the creepy and eerie.

Ghost stories have been part of storytelling since the beginning of time, but somehow seem creepier when there is truth behind the tales. As a paranormal investigator, Estep takes a journalistic approach to the hauntings. Some of his ghost stories are well documented, such as Eastern State Penitentiary, The Bell Witch, and the Stanley Hotel. Some are a little more obscure, like Gef the talking mongoose and the Borley Rectory. From haunted mansions and hotels to ghostly battles and brutal penitentiaries, wherever there is a haunting, chances are Estep has been there and now brings these ghostly encounters to you.
