This was just spooky, at times scary, and I definitely didn't sleep that well thanks to this one. Haha. I would recommend it!

I am always excited when I find a new book to read that is filled with spooky stories! In this one we get several eye witness stories from spooky things that happened to them. From spooky kids in trees shooting pebbles to your windows to something so scary people died to spooky sounds in the walls to a man in a hat standing in your room to oh hey what is that thing on your freaking ceiling? The stories are short but freaking scary for almost all the book. At times I just wanted to shout RUN RUN RUN NOPE NOPE NOPE. Some made pictures of corners and I was like, why the fuck would you do that, I wouldn't want to know what is lurking there. Shadows are enough a hint for me. XD

I definitely need to check out more of this author's books!

These stories were awesome. It could have been a 5* if it hadn't been for missing words throughout the book

Creepy very interesting

This reads like someone copied and pasted from a Reddit thread. And, that wasn’t terrible, but the editing errors were distracting and some of the stories were dumb. One story had a title header and nothing there. Honestly, when I read some KU things I keep my expectations low.

Interesting stories

I enjoyed the stories and can tell you some from when I grew in a1868 farm house wth a road ad houses through it. There were quite as grammar errors but those can be fixed tans for Arvada at all of you sincerely christinedunne Harlingen Texas'.

Interesting stories, not overly scary. Fun read.

In Eve S. Evans's "Real ghost stories" she has the reader immersed into 11 different short, but true ghost stories.

This book is written in 1st person, having the feel as if someone is sitting around a campfire telling guest stories. These stories were very easy and quick to read.

I liked the stories but only gave this book 3 stars because I felt that the stories were too short and did not have enough scare or details to them. Each mini story felt more like just a possible paranormal experience but felt like it could have been an imagination or something. I kept waiting for explanations like past deaths or why might be haunted.

I did like Eve Evans's writing and did flow nicely. I definitely plan on reading more of her works. I would recommend these stories for any age because I did not think they were very scary (but maybe read before you let someone young read bc maybe I just am not easily scared)

Dull and badly edited

This was not what I'd hoped. The stories varied in quality, but some were hard to believe they were real. Many were just dull. Also, please have someone who knows how to use apostrophes for possessives proofread your manuscript.

[James Crawford · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very typical book on ghost stories. One thing I don't like is that it starts off with adds for other books and I think that type of thing, like reviews, should be at the end of the book.

There's a haunted house, a dog sensing something in the room, a haunted locket, a trick-and-treater being, a seance and, unfortunately, an ouija board.

I believe seances are pretty much a waste of time and an ouija board is just inviting trouble. If spirits do exist, and if some of them are highly negative or outright evil then an ouija board used by people for 'fun' is an open invitation to one of the negative spirits to join in.

So, overall, it's an average book.

Not scary. Not adult. These are campfire kid stories akin to goosebumps or are you afraid of the dark. If I had purchased this for my kids, it would have been great. I didn’t though, I got it for me.

Also the author narrates her own audible and she really really really needs to hire a professional narrator or just not do audiobooks. It was awful. I wish I could get my money back.

Good read

A good ,quick and easy read especially so close to Halloween,love a good ghost story and these were nice and short and straight into the encounters without dragging it out

Amazing Scary Read

I loved reading this book. Anything Paranormal intrigues me. I have a whole bunch of books like this lined up to read. If you believe in the Paranormal this is a must read. You won't be sorry. At least I wasnt.

[Bothenjs · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not that chilling

Written in a straightforward style like a book report. Some stories were pretty good, but the storytelling lacked the feelings of terror

I grew up in a haunted house .

[Vicky Peplow · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting read!

An interesting read with a few stories based around the paranormal and on true events. I enjoyed quite a few of the stories but some would've been better if they were a little longer. Great work!

[Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are twenty personal accounts of paranormal experiences believed to be explained as ghosts and apparitions. They are each as uniquely structured as needed in order to convey the witness accounts.

Great true stories!

It can be really hard to find a good book with true paranormal stories. This was a great fine I enjoyed every single page it was hard to put down

[Tammy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of lame and incredibly predictable stories.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice to know I'm not the only one to experience spirits.

Fun, quick read!

I read before bed every night and this was perfect. Short stories that are Interesting and fun. Some creepy, some weird, but all fun.

[Amanda · Rating 1 out of 5]

If I could rate it 0 stars, I would. The grammar was awful and made me want to scoop my eyeballs out with forks.

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

Poorly written, by unattributed writers (not Ms. Evans). After awhile, the stories all sound the same.

[Karin Mersereau · Rating 2 out of 5]

Definitely a book for young teens to read at a sleepover or something. Just short blurbs that people write in about their own experiences. Some were kind of chilling or interesting. I enjoyed it for what it was but definitely should have just remained a podcast.

Boring

This book consisted of several cheesy ghost stories. Not a very worthwhile time spent in reading it. Don't recommend it.

[Norma · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really didn’t like this book and felt it was boring.
