There was a time when I used to devour these Reader's Digest books, but not any more. These "uncanny" stories need to be taken with a heavy dose of salt: tabloid reporting in hardbound format. 😉

This book, while an interesting read, made me feel like I was constantly being watched while I had it open. Its possible my copy is just haunted.
