Haunted Canada 10: More Scary True Stories

"... terrifying true tales from across Canada will make your blood run cold"?
Well, as an unconvinced skeptic about the reality of ghosts, visions, specters, phantasmagoria, and the after-life in general, I can't say that Joel Sutherland's collection of ostensibly true paranormal events made my blood run cold. But they're short, entertaining reading, they're certainly appropriate for the Hallowe'en season, and they are obviously thought to be a part of Canadian history that people have genuinely encountered and experienced.
Read and judge for yourself. The back cover marketing blurb suggests, "Prepare yourself to be haunted" ... well, maybe! But you can definitely prepare yourself to smile and be entertained.

They sound like the signs you’d read when entering a ghost ride at theme park :)

"...terrifying true tales from across Canada..." stop it! no way! 😨

I used to love these books as kids! I had one substitute teacher in elementary school that would read them out loud to us in creepy voices- what a memory! Thanks Paul for the review and the happy reminder of childhood ☺️
