True Ghost Stories: Real Haunted Woods and Forests

Rate this book
Looking for a Scare? Then Read These 17 Spine-chilling Stories If you like real ghost stories and are ready for something besides haunted buildings, this book is definitely for you. Within these pages are the stories of true hauntings occurring in forests to this very day across the world. Some of these eyewitness accounts go back hundreds of years and, in some cases, the ghosts involved may go back even further. Imagine going for a calm, peaceful hike in the woods when a cloud of pitch black smoke appears before you, swirling and rising until it takes the form of a person and then disappears just as quickly. Or walking along a forested path when you feel a powerful, yet invisible, hand grip your ankle and throw you to the ground violently. Do not ignore the nightmarish, gurgling cry of a long-dead little girl still seeking her mother from deep within swampy waters. Maybe you will pay a visit to one particularly infamous forest only to find yourself lost and your electronic devices malfunctioning while a sense of despair and hopelessness begins to drive you almost to the point of suicide. Think of what it would be like seeing someone leap off from the edge of a cliff, but when you rush to look over the cliff to help, the “person” disappeared—without a footprint left behind. How would you respond to a woman’s horrific cries for help, only to discover a clearing where the surrounding trees are covered in so much blood you could smell it? These true stories are about forests in places as diverse as India, England, Canada, and the United States. Some of the ghosts were murder victims, others fell in battle or were criminals of vigilante justice, and many are still mourning the dead. Some spirits will not even be aware of your presence; while others are so intent you can sense their presence even when they cannot be seen. In many of these forests you will hear blood-curdling sounds, such as the slaughtering of nonexistent animals, the drums of ancient warriors still marching into battle, the pounding hooves of powerful, yet dead, horses, and many, many unusual types of screams and cries. The next time you pay a visit to the woods for a hike or perhaps a pleasant walk, just remember things may not be as quiet and peaceful as they seem for there are ghosts within the forests. Ready to scare yourself senseless? Scroll to the top of the page and hit buy!

One star cannot fully express my disappointment.

This but was full of copy and past, yet change the words so I don’t get caught, nonsense. It had creepypastas stated as fact or “legends”, and legends also stated as fact. If you appreciate the paranormal and supernatural elements of this world, this horrendous book is not the experience you are looking for. It was so hard to read, and I looked up a lot of the stories and often the first link held the material that was copied almost word for word. This book should say “written by google search.”

Finished it, but barely. My husband read this to me, and we complained about it the entire time.

Ghostly Tales of Haunted Woods

This is another edition of the author's hauntings series, this one focusing on woods and forests. There are some very spooky entries in this edition. The chapters are once again too short, but the tales told are interesting. A great short read for paranormal fans. Be sure to check out the other books in this series.

Liked this book- It was a bit shorter, but perfect for what I was looking for! Trying to get back into reading, so it captured my attention! I legit couldn't read it at night because I was getting scared!

As a fan of the Ghost Adventures TV series I bought a couple of Zach’s books to further my interest in the paranormal. These books are chilling and gripping, they really make me want to go out and explore.

True ( ? )

Seem more like folk stories intended to shape The adolescent behaviors of children & adults still able to amble through wooded areas comparatively free of pesky large foots & chupacabras ( ? )

Interesting

Enjoyed the stories. This is the third book I've read by this author. The tales are interesting but not overtly frightening.

This book was exactly as I imagined it would be. Short snippets of ghost stories in forests both domestic and abroad. A quick read for the supernaturally curious!

I enjoyed this collection of stories! There were some that I was not familiar with at all, so it was a fun introduction to new ghost stories.
