The Little Giant® Book of "True" Ghostly Tales (Little Giant Books)

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!
