Can you believe that the "Haunted Canada" series is now in its 12th volume? There's no shortage of stories about ghosts and poltergeists in Canada.

From the Yukon to Newfoundland, via Alberta and Quebec, Joel Sutherland catalogues and tells a panoply of stories, each more interesting than the last. Whether it's a ghostly cat, a strange being with red eyes or a ghost following former owners to their new home, it's all here.

I love the way the author puts readers in the mood, while telling the background behind each story. Brilliant!
