Growing up with paranormal entities in all shapes, sizes and species in the Victorian mansion of her eccentric Aunt Penelope Trevelyan, who probably would have been burnt as a witch in another time, Caitlin had been told countless times that she was fated to travel to Cornwall “when the time is right” and find? Her aunt had said it would be love with a happy ending, but Caitlin had her doubts. So far, she hadn’t found any man she was willing to spend more than a few hours with let alone a lifetime. But when she opens the letter from Thane Edmunds requesting her help, she feels a strange, intense pull that shoots a shiver of awareness through her entire being. Deep down, all the way to her toes, she knows the time was finally “right” and destiny had come banging on her door. Caitlin’s knack for ghost hunting had started in her college years, when she founded North East Paranormal Investigative Services, largely to protect her Goth friend and then roommate, Moira Smoot, from her own inept dabblings in the occult…something that had almost cost her more than her life. Since then, rules had been set up to help guard their safety in a setting, where anything could happen. Rules an excited Caitlin seems to forget, when she arrives in Cornwall ahead of her team and disregards NEPIS’ first rule of ghost hunting….”never go in alone”… by driving out to the site for a quick look around before night fall. Expecting a caretaker, she is disappointed to find the dilapidated manor locked up tight and no one there, at least no one living, for she senses more than one pair of ghostly eyes witness her arrival. Circling the outside, listening to the pound of the surf on the rocks below the cliffs, she finds the lock broken on the kitchen door and enters. Looking around the fast darkening, cavernous room, she notices that a cot had been set up in one corner and the swing door to the rest of the manor both padlocked and painted with a crudely drawn red cross. Knowing that can’t be good…knowing she should get her keister out of there, but fast, and head back to the safety of the village, she finds herself battling an inexplicable compulsion to spend the night…and losing. All alone in the dark, she begins to think she may have made a “horror”ble mistake, when she senses not only the usual ghosts and spirits that go ‘bump in the night’, but also the distant presence of Colin, the long dead fifth Earl of Eastwythe, now a restless incubus who plots to ensnare her in his delicious web of dark sexuality, since feeding his lust has been his sole antidote to an eternity he finds both “ducedly boring” and very lonely. But, listening to Caitlin moving about in the kitchen from his attic lair, he feels a twinge of conscience and decides to leave her “unmolested”…at least for the night. And so Caitlin, wrapping herself in the comforting memories of the past…cold…hungry…and more than a little scared, waits out the long, dark night unaware she has been given a short reprieve. One that Colin already regrets. But when Thane Edmunds arrives in the morning, and hears Caitlin knocking out the hinge pins in his kitchen door in order to satisfy yet another compulsion to see the rest of the manor before she leaves for the village, the atmosphere heats up quickly in the old manor.

    A clown that appears by the side of the road and disappears as your car draws near or an auto accident that was witnessed months after it happened are some of the many hauntings to be discovered in this book. Animals that exhibit the symptoms of rabies the moment their feet touch the street or an aggressive ghoulie car responsible for the deaths of a group of teenagers almost 50 years ago. A woman still trying to get help for her newlywed husband trapped in their vehicle after an accident, unaware it’s too late for either of them and a police officer who relives his death every time he pulls over another speeding car are just a few of the true stories of haunted highways and roads you will find within the pages of this disturbing book. India, China, Wales, Scotland, England, Australia, and the United States all have roads, streets, interstates, routes, and highways that connect one end of a country to the other. There are hundreds of thousands of roads and streets that no one experiences anything mysterious upon. Then there is a handful of streets notorious for the abnormal, disturbing, paranormal things that occur on or near them on a regular basis. While some of these hauntings only began recently, others extend back hundreds of years when the roads were dirt trails. Some of these haunted avenues are infamous, like those along Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong, Archer Avenue in Chicago, or Mona Lisa Drive in New Orleans. Those more unknown are equally horrifying, like along A541 in Pontblyddyn, Wales and Route 2A in Maine. Regardless, you will agree this book comprises the scariest, most disturbing true tales of haunted roads and highways. One of the most unusual aspects of these stories, when compared to most true horror stories, is that just about every eyewitness encounter in the chapters of this book was experienced by someone who wasn’t out looking to encounter the supernatural. These people were minding their own business when they were thrown first hand into experiences beyond the natural that would mark them for life, which means it could happen to you, too. Are you ready to never feel quite as comfortable driving along the road in the dark? Then this book is exactly what you need. Ready to scare yourself senseless?
