  • The Haunted House: A True Ghost Story

    Walter Hubbell

    Paperback (Read How You Want, Oct. 1, 2006)
    It is one of the best spooky stories, definitely spine-chilling. Mysterious and vivacious action in the story mesmerizes the reader. The horrifying effect is created as the arcane setting of fires, shaking of the house, loud and incessant noises, distinct knocking as sledge-hammers on the walls and the furniture moves in day-light without any visible cause. Interesting and fear-provoking!
