Things That Go Bump in the Night, first published in 1959, is a fascinating collection of some of the many ghost and haunted house stories and places of New York state.Traditional folksy ghost stories collected by the author and his students while he was teaching at Cornell. Some of these stories made me want to visit the places mentioned. The author said that he didn’t change any of the place names but he did change names of people so tracking down the particular stone house somewhere between Middleville and Norway becomes problematic since limestone was a popular building material in that area.

Julian Evans was a teenager with very sloppy, absent-minded parents, and he was tired of cleaning up after them.

Things That Go Bump in the Night is a book for children of all ages! Are your children afraid of the Dark? Are you looking for a cute, fun book to contribute to your child when they are scared at night? Simone Padur has been teaching children art, drama and storytelling in summer camps and international schools for eight years. She has been illustrating for clients and authors for six years. She found that she was constantly using stories in her camp programs and classes. However, when she went to write them down they would fragment or the images for the illustrations would disappear from her head. Then she started using the tools of Access Consciousness which encouraged her to ask questions, of herself and everything around her. Knowing that asking a question would create an awareness she asked: "What kind of book did I require as a kid?" Immediately she remembered how terrified she had been, even into adulthood, of the dark and what lurked in it. It was with the tools of Access Consciousness she was finally able to overcome this unfounded fear. It was with these same tools of asking questions that she had the book outlined within a few hours. Throughout the process of writing and illustrating this book she asked questions and when she did the book flowed with ease. How does it get better than that? What else is possible? It is with great pleasure that she launches this book into the world for kids young and old. How does it get better than that? What if just by being you, you could change the world?
