Known for her series of true ghost stories, Barbara Smith is back, this time with a collection of delightfully eerie tales set in real Ontario locations. So light up the fire and prepare to be spooked: * The spirit of a Sarnia woman murdered by her husband gets her revenge before resting in peace in her watery grave * Two brothers guiding a Halloween ghost walk through the streets of downtown Toronto find themselves joined by a very angry ghost * A young couple househunting near Trenton is scared away by the ghosts of a family who never left their home * The long-dead original owner of a pub in Thunder Bay makes sure that he's never forgotten * A student on spring break in Niagara Falls has the experience of a lifetime -- a past lifetime * An unscrupulous salesman gets what he deserves when he foolishly, greedily, decides to exorcise the spirits from two of Ottawa's most haunted homes * And more.

Barbara Smith was born and raised in Toronto and lived most of her life in Edmonton before settling in the Victoria area in 2006. Barbara is a full-time writer whose work is inspired by a love of mystery combined with her lifelong interest in social history. She has published over thirty books, twenty of which are collections of true ghost stories, including Campfire Stories of Western Canada, The Mad Trapper and perennial bestsellers Ghost Stories of Alberta, Ghost Stories and Mysterious Creatures of British Columbia, Ghost Stories of the Rocky Mountains and Canadian Ghost Stories.
