England, Canada, Ireland, India, Scotland, Germany, Australia, Italy, Hungary, America, Japan, The Philippines... Countries from every corner of the globe, all sharing a common thread: Ghosts! Haunted Encounters: Ghost Stories from Around the World brings together 48 stories of true supernatural encounters, told by the people who actually experienced them. The people who lived these tales take you through each one in their own words. Their thoughts, their feelings, and the spirits who crossed over into their lives: * A Canadian scuba diver who encountered the ghost of a young boy standing on the deck of an ancient sunken ship. * A couple in a gondola, rowing through the canals of Venice on a foggy night, hear the cries of children who fell prey to a madman many years ago. * A ghostly woman in a long, white dress who paces the verandah of an old rambling house in Australia. * A hiker takes refuge from a rainstorm in a deserted English mountain cottage, only to discover that there were a few unseen residents inside with him. You'll find these stories and many more inside. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this book is how the phenomena that we call "ghosts" transcends language and geographic boundaries.Bivona, Ginnie Siena is the author of 'Haunted Encounters Ghost Stories from Around the World', published 2004 under ISBN 9780974039411 and ISBN 0974039411.
