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?

We often see flyers of missing people - many of them are children who perhaps enjoyed too much of their escapade that they were separated from their parents. Others were probably adults suffering from a mental condition that rendered them incapable of returning home. Other missing people cases, however, are far more intriguing and creepy... For example, would you imagine a group of passengers abandoning a ship even though it was still capable of operating? If pirates killed them, then why would they bother bringing the bodies?

It doesn't matter where you live or what you think you know, there is no denying that these tales will make your hair stand on end, and make you think twice before you head out into the woods again. You are about to listen to tales of real life events that have been reported by eyewitness accounts. Tales that will prove to you that there are possibilities we never before wanted to consider, and tales that will show you that there very well may be these strange, half human, half dog creatures we call werewolves.

Many people find enjoyment in a good audiobook. The words fly and surround the listener in a comforting embrace. The stories take them to places they could've never imagined and the book opens up new worlds to explore. This is not that book. None of the stories here are meant to soothe you. Instead, these stories are meant to provoke and maybe even terrify you. The world you'll find here is terrifyingly real. It isn't a fantasy that can be contained in ink.

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is described as being an ape or hominid-like creature that lives in forested areas, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Indeed, there are hundreds of new Bigfoot sightings reported each and every year, and not just in the Pacific Northwest. This bizarre, often terrifying creature has been spotted in all corners of the United States, from Washington to the very tips of Florida and Maine.

Let's be honest: there's an inner psychic in all of us. There are times when we become fascinated with things like death, ghosts, after life, and well, Ouija boards.

There does not seem to be any shortage of spirits and apparitions in this world, and they do not seem to be limited by time, place or situation. There is of course the standard bearer of haunted locales, the scary “haunted house” on the dead end street, but there are also haunted taverns, haunted amusement parks, and even haunted subway systems. These events seem to transcend any kind of label or classification that we attempt to put upon them. But are these frightful specters are just as afraid of us as we are of them?

These are all true stories of strange and bad things that have happened at Halloween. So many stories of so many bad things that you may start to wonder whether perhaps there is something different about Halloween. Something dark. Perhaps even something evil.... You won’t find any stories of ghosts, spirits, or the supernatural here. These are stories of real people and the strange and wicked things that they do on or around October 31. Listen if you dare, and discover a feast of murder, untimely death, and mysterious disappearance linked by just one thing: Halloween.

Why has there been so many hauntings and paranormal in our past? Most of the time, science can explain occurrences of weird things. But how about other happenings like haunted objects, strange ghostly beings, and evil entities? How can you explain a beautiful ghostly figure mingling with the living and vanishing right before their very eyes? Most people are in agreement that when we die, we hope that our spirits, our very souls, will carry on to a better place, beyond human comprehension. This mentality, this desire, has been a basic tenant of mankind for thousands upon thousands of years. And yet, if this is true, then why are certain places riddled with spirits? Why do they continue to haunt and appear till this very day even though these entities may have been there for hundreds of years? Only time will tell....

For most people, Halloween is a fun time. It's a time to dress up, go to parties and socialize with friends and family. A time to be deliciously but harmlessly frightened by stories about murder, mayhem and the supernatural. However, a significant part of the fun of Halloween is that it allows us to be scared without ever feeling really threatened or unsettled. After all, the stories we like to tell and watch and listen to at Halloween are just that, stories.

In this book, I want to show you some of the strangest, creepiest incidents that have taken place through the centuries, and show you that there has to be something bigger than what can be explained taking place. Sure, there are always going to be those who doubt, but if you open your mind and consider the possibility that there is something unseen taking place, you will realize just how plausible it really is.

All around the world, people grow up hearing the spooky stories about the abandoned house on the street corner, or the insane asylum that housed serial killers. These places are imbued with a powerful dark energy from the stories people tell. While some of these places were inevitably more fiction than fact, or the workings of a child's imagination, that doesn't mean that there aren't truly haunted places.

There are plenty of people in the world who will live their lives without ever stepping foot in a real haunted house. These fortunate souls can contentedly spend their days without worrying about a malevolent spirit disturbing their sleep. However, not everyone is so lucky. This audiobook covers houses in Ireland, Germany, Italy, and America. They are each their own unique brand of terrifying. In these homes, people have lived, died, and been reincarnated. Their walls have trapped their former occupants and condemned them to roam their lonely halls for eternity.

What scares you? What wakes you up at night? What makes you afraid of the dark? These are questions that can have many different answers. Maybe it's that disturbing noise you hear in the hallway every night, as soon as you turn the lights out, but every time you go to see what it is, nothing's there. Or maybe you're someone who is rarely afraid. Maybe you think you've heard it all, and scary movies don't scare you anymore. Ghosts and poltergeists are only found in Hollywood studios, and nothing like that would ever happen to you.

Within the past couple of years, pop culture has been captivated by prison life. There is an almost constant stream of documentaries and TV shows being released that capture what life is like behind bars. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that while people enjoy watching these shows, they certainly don't want to experience prison firsthand. Now imagine that on top of being in prison and contending with all the struggles of prison life, you also must deal with the ghosts and evil spirits from former inmates.

There are countless books, TV shows, and movies dedicated to showcasing life behind bars. They show us how both violent and petty criminals interact. But what happens when things spiral out of control? When inmates turn on the guards and riots break out? Or when guards become power hungry and torture inmates?

For centuries people have speculated about the wild things that might live deep within the woods. One popular theory is witches; people believe witches live in the forest and cast curses on those who enter. This may be rooted in the many fairy tales which depict the exact same thing. If you're reading this, you're probably one of the brave souls who aren't scared of a little fright. But I warn you, these woods will give you more than just a little fright.

Mental hospitals and prison wards are among the most haunted places on the planet. No one knows why this is true, but it's a fact that has proven itself all over the world. It seems that when prisoners - either prisoners of society or people imprisoned in their own minds - live anywhere for an extended period of time, a haunting is soon to follow. And that's where this book comes in. In it, we are going to explore a variety of mental hospitals, asylums, prisons, and other haunted wards from all over the world.

Perhaps one of the less common things people feel is a fear of dolls. There is something about those little bodies and creepy little faces that just put people on edge, regardless of any past experience they've had, movie they've seen, or story they've heard. Pediophobia, as this fear is scientifically named, can range from modern Barbie and Bratz dolls all the way to porcelain and antique dolls. Some only have a fear of one kind of doll, others have a fear of every doll imaginable.

A haunted house turns everything that is supposed to be comforting and familiar into instruments of terror - attics, nurseries, and parlors become settings for the macabre, family tragedies repeat themselves over and over again. Yet, we are still drawn to the stories a haunted house has to tell. There is something fascinating in how a house becomes a home for spirits....
