Description

Here are over 40 scary, hair-raising, and frightening stories of the supernatural and the paranormal. These are first-person narratives that are unexplained and possibly inexplicable. All of them have been reported to John Robert Colombo, Canada’s Master Gatherer of the Arcane, by men and women from various parts of the country, and they’re published here in the words of the informants themselves, the witnesses to these wonders.

Here, you will have the opportunity to read about:

  • A woman from Ottawa who is visited nightly by her dead husband.
  • A man from Quebec who is haunted by visions of the past.
  • The couple from Regina, Saskatchewan, who commune with spirits through a Ouija board.
  • The woman from Newcastle, Ontario, who finds the house of her dreams with a terrible secret.

He co-translated into English five books of Bulgarian literature, not to mention books of verse originally written in Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, etc. In the field of native studies he has compiled Windigo, Poems of the Inuit, Songs of the Indians, and Songs of the Great Land.
