It's a "maybe there is something else" that we can't explain. It's probably like me with my obsession with doors and windows. I buy pictures showing doors, windows, alleyways. It's all the possibilities behind them. Some people like to be scared, so they read them. My favorite ones aren't scary. They're the ones in which someone is helped.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-6836349446338973522012-08-15T23:24:07.715-05:002012-08-15T23:24:07.715-05:00This sounds like a fun collection!

I have an affinity for short story collections and anthologies, because if I start reading before bed and get caught up, I can usually finish without feeling the heat the next morning! :) I will have an eye out for this one.

I had an uncle who was a trucker, and I just don't see him believing. However, I imagine if you spend all that time on the road, you will come across some unusual things, some that you can't explain.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-50965837357546906772012-08-15T06:42:50.450-05:002012-08-15T06:42:50.450-05:00I love ghost stories--and I think I'd have to ...I love ghost stories--and I think I'd have to read these with the lights on!
