This collection of three true ghost stories, and two creepy (but somewhat less ghostly) fictional short stories makes for a chilling read which will have you wondering if the shadow in the corner of your room just moved (it did). Of the true accounts, I found "The Ghost Named Earl" was the best and actually pretty scary - A group of friends on holiday in a log cabin come to realize that they are not alone. Floorboards menacingly creaking ever closer is something I'm sure we all imagined as children, while lying in the dark too scared to move or even breath. If not, you missed out.A whole book of true accounts however, might find it hard to maintain the levels of variety required, and so balancing it out with fictional longer stories was a good move. They are "Murdoch's Eyes" - not really a ghost or paranormal story, although there are supernatural powers involved when a woman finds herself part of an experiment that she didn't volunteer for. And "The Rumblin'" - A family find themselves trapped in the worst place to be, as a strange storm seems to have the power to make normally sane people, murderous. All in all a good creepy read which might have you hiding under the covers.
