Profile Picture
Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. Some of these stories are scary, but some are just plain weird. Yet, they're all true. For example, the bleeding house in Georgia was, at one time, the home of a serial killer. There are also some that aren't scary, they just have to do with the paranormal, like the statue of a little girl that comes to life and hides during thunderstorms. This book is for people who are ready to face the paranormal in their state.
