As much as I enjoyed this, the majority of stories in here are (understandably) terribly outdated. There were a couple of interesting ones in there but the constant "now do you believe in ghosts?" was a bit annoying. No idea how many of these were actually 'true' or not, but there were a few that rather than scare made me just laugh out loud. A few dealt more with general supernatural themes than just ghosts - premonitions, visions, curses. On the most part it was enjoyable though, even if some of it was just a little silly.

Cool art, and a few of the stories are really good. Howsomever, the narrow focus of the title means there are a lot of repeated themes, and the constant "this really happened!" disclaimers are completely unbelievable.
