Hell House: & Other True Hauntings from Around the WorldThe chilling title of this hair-raising volume refers to the real-life Hell House of New Orleans--a mansion haunted by the ghosts of tortured and murdered slaves. But that's only one of the 43 forbidding locations documented within these pages. Bold readers are invited to go on a world-spanning tour of haunted places, to meet ghosts, apparitions, and spirits such as the Windigo of the remote Canadian forests, which possesses unwary travelers and compels them to eat human flesh. Here also are such horrors as the moving coffins of Barbados, the Hungry Ghosts of China, and other bizarre manifestations of the spirit world. Truly a feast of shudders and thrills for all fans of the supernatural. |
