Very spooky ghost stories!!!

Leslie Rule, daughter of true-crime novelist Ann Rule, does a great job with these ghost stories. Rather than just writing second- or third-hand accounts (like most ghost stories, giving them an "urban legend" feel), Rule actually visited the places and spoke first-hand with witnesses to the paranormal. Rule also tells of her own personal experiences with the supernatural, both growing up and as an adult.

The chapters are divided up nicely into the types of ghosts discussed: ghosts of children, hotel ghosts, even ghost pets! Another nice addition are the black and white photos of the locations, taken by Rule herself.

Guaranteed to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up at least once!
