Faceless creatures haunt an unwary traveler. A beautiful woman — the personification of winter at its cruelest — ruthlessly kills unsuspecting mortals. These and 17 other chilling supernatural tales — based on legends, myths, and beliefs of ancient Japan — represent the very best of Lafcadio Hearn's literary style. They are also a culmination of his lifelong interest in the endlessly fascinating customs and tales of the country where he spent the last fourteen years of his life, translating into English the atmospheric stories he so avidly collected.Teeming with undead samurais, man-eating goblins, and other terrifying demons, these 20 classic ghost stories inspired the Oscar®-nominated 1964 film of the same name.

    Regularly priced at $4.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device. Chilling stories, mind boggling events, and paranormal activities. We often hear them from the television, and often get scared of them. Although they do not happen to us, it is frightening to know how people become constantly plagued by them. Maybe your house is an old building, or your school is a former cemetery. Perhaps someone you know can feel and see other worldly entities? Look around you... do you remember a moment when you heard a screeching sound from the attic? Or maybe your chairs move without your assistance. When the lights flicker and the wind is chilling, you may consider the possibility that you aren’t alone? The cases included in this book vary: from a whole family being haunted, haunted houses, scary roads, and haunted asylums. It is proof enough that paranormal events can take place anywhere, and an ordinary person can be a victim of ghostly encounters. You may not be a believer now, but after reading this book, you might change your mind. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

    With thirteen chilling chapters, Haunted Hospitals delves into the history of the most infamous asylums, sanitariums and hospitals on Earth, unlocking their dark histories and detailing their paranormal activities. Take Waverly Hills Sanatorium, home to Mary, the apparition of a little girl who “wasn’t normal.” Left behind after a disease cut her young life short, Mary went from innocent in life to something more horrific in death. Then there’s Old Changi military hospital, where a history of wartime bloodbaths still stains the old abandoned halls—leaving behind chilling images in the minds of trespassers. Or what about any of the other haunted hospitals contained within, where apparitions, disembodied voices, and strange occurences are commonplace. With overcrowding and barbaric medical procedures being practiced, these buildings were the torture houses of the 20th century, and the eeriest haunts of the 21st. Haunted Hospitals unlocks the dark histories of the most chilling abandoned hospitals from around the world. Every chapter describes the eerie and often frightening details of the best ghostly encounters. Are these sightings based on myth or true horrors? Only you can decide.
