Description
Ghosts, it seems, are everywhere, even in corners of the world where you'd least expect them. In this fascinating new collection, ghost story expert Susan Smitten leaves no stone unturned in her quest for proof of hauntings. Smitten has interviewed eyewitnesses in such diverse places as Ireland, Japan, South Africa and Germany, discovering that while geography and history may vary greatly, ghostly motives for returning after death are remarkably consistent.
