Makes you think

After reading these tales you always wonder if any are true. Guess we will never truly know until it either happens to you or someone you know.

This is another type of book which covers stories of strange things happening but does not always tie those events into specific causes like cryptids or ghosts.

The book has stories about strange things going on in houses or schools, a dead person sending a text message, the use of holy water, sleep paralysis and like events.

It's interested in a general way but I tend to prefer specific types of causes.

This is the first book in a new paranormal series with a new coauthor. This is a new collection of eerie and frightening paranormal encounters. The witnesses were wise to move in many cases. I would've loved to know what was found in that attic. That family should have moved out! Looking forward to the next book in the series for more stories.

Scary entertainment

This book has firsthand encounters written down by the authors. Some of the stories aren't very scary but they are definitely believable. They also give the names of the actual places where the situation happened for the person which is a factor I would like to know when I hear of people's encounters.

Generic Stories

These stories were generic. The recycled canned stories we’ve all heard a derivative of a thousand times. For Tom Lions, this book was disappointing. AI generated? Possibly.

Interesting Stories

I have to say the book is rather good. I’m eager to read more of Ms Grimm’s books! Short but good

Good stories

It was interesting to read those stories. Specially when you have been the subject of similar ones. Waiting for book 2 and 3.

IDK if I believe in ghosts and haunts. I believe in God and Heaven and Hell, but I'm a little skeptical about ghosts. Although I like to read about such stories, I don't meddle in the spirit world.

Another Chiller!

Volume one was full of creepy mind tingling true stories. All so good and full of action! A must read!

great read

Tom Lyons does it again! Any of these stories would make a great horror movie with some fleshing out. I love them and they do creep me out.

While I found the stories to be creepy at times I thought they were too short and too many of them had the same tone.

Pretty good read

This is a quick, easy, and entertaining read. I'd recommend this for anyone who's looking for a quick fix on ghost stories.

stranger than fear

I always enjoy the Tom Lyon books. The fact that people tell their stories in their own words makes it very interesting.
