Deep within the misty regions of every subconscious mind, in that area between waking and dreams, where the lines between reality and fantasy merge and blur, lurk our darkest fears. By day we keep them buried, locked away out of sight, with little attention paid to the spiritual world that surrounds us. But at night in our bedrooms, these fears frequently torment us. The shadows grow long, and stillness fills the air. The house creaks and groans as the final light of the sun fades. The hair on the back of your neck stands up as you tiptoe down the hallway, looking over your shoulder with every step. Your pulse begins to quicken. Your breathing becomes heavier. What is a ghost? Is it the spirit of someone who has passed on? A demon? The devil himself? Many people have seen ghosts, or at least are certain that such things exist. Author Jeffery McKelroy has traveled all over the United States and has never visited a place without at least one ghost story. He invites you now to explore with him some of this country's most haunted places.
