Creepy yet charming collection of true ghost tales from around Canada. Perfect for readers of any age, but Sutherland, damn you I am going to have nightmares about haunted dolls. Love these collections as both me and my son can read them together. Thinking we might have to send Mr Sutherland to the writers of Supernatural so he can remind them the show should let some of the Demon and Angel stuff rest and get back to creeping us out with good old fashioned ghost stories. Now off to turn all the lights on in the house.

I like this book because it tells real stories of things in places you might not have know. There is a story about a ghost in Etobicoke and a doll that could esape a glass box in a museum. I love this book in the way that it gives you goosebumps. I would definetly recomend if you like scary stories.
