What lurks in the shadows under the bed? Is that groaning whisper really just the wind in the trees? What happens when the people we love die? In these 13 tales, the reader will meet nine boys, twelve girls, seven ghosts and six demons, each with their own mysterious, thought-provoking, and at times terrifying experiences. The perfect read for a dark and stormy night, these short stories transport the reader across time and continents. Whether set in a medieval Irish village on the longest night of the year, a contemporary American high school where a student reporter goes on a ghost hunt, or in a modern city where a would-be medium meets her first real ghost, each story holds a chilling encounter with the supernatural. Suspenseful, shivery, and sometimes heartbreaking, "Believe: 13 Hauntings" brings the reader face to face with otherworldly possibilities and mystical explanations for the things that go bump in the night.
