Book overview from blurb on book cover:

Have you ever been driving down the road and seen something you just couldn’t explain? Have you ever had an encounter with another vehicle that disappeared from sight? What if you pulled over to pick up a hitchhiker only to have them vanish from sight as you drew near to them? What if someone vanished from your car? Have you ever experienced something driving that is so out of the ordinary you wouldn’t even tell your best friend?

Many people all over the world have experienced things like this. You see, ghosts don’t just haunt houses and buildings. Ghosts also haunt roads, streets, and highways and those hauntings can be every bit as terrifying as the most disturbing tale to ever be told from a haunted house.

Scotland, Wales, China, England, Australia, India, and the United States all have something in common: roads and highways that are notoriously wrought with paranormal happenings that neither science nor skeptics can adequately explain.

Within the pages of this book, you will read the true experiences of individuals who have encountered ghosts that dwell along the roads and learn the backstories behind these hauntings. Some of the roads were built over burial grounds, like interstate H-1 in Hawaii where its angry, ancient warriors summoned enough power to move construction equipment without leaving any tracks. Other roads are the site of countless accidents, like Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong or Deadman’s Curve in Ohio. Still others have hauntings that indicate the source of the ghosts goes back hundreds of years before a road was even built.

The manner in which these ghosts manifest themselves varies dramatically. Some roads are known for encounters with ghostly hitchhikers who died many years before, while others may involve animal apparitions hell-bent on self-destruction. Some people have witnessed ghostly carriages, wagons, and horse-drawn hearses of years past while others witnessed things disappearing like cars or modern delivery trucks. Many of these ghosts look like people from the last century, but one thing is certain – there is a great variety in the spirits that seem tied to the roads of the world.

Prepare yourself to never feel the same way again about driving home in the dark.

Book overview from blurb on back of paperback:

Cemeteries and graveyards are where the dead are laid to rest…but are they always at rest? These stories of haunted cemeteries may convince you otherwise. While many ghost hunters and psychics claim cemeteries are not filled with ghosts, evidence seems to indicate there are cemeteries scattered across this world that are very, very active.

There are some cemeteries infamous for their hauntings, such as Greyfriars Kirkyard and St. Louis #1 in New Orleans. Others have been the victim of urban legends, such as the infamous Stull Cemetery in Kansas that supposedly contains a Gateway to Hell. Then there are the lesser known cemeteries, such as Lona China Cemetery in Texas, with the ghost of a tall, beautiful woman cursed and torn from her love or the Deerfield Old Burying Grounds in Massachusetts, where restless victims of war crimes still seek rest.

Manifestations vary greatly. In some cemeteries, a ghost who looks downright alive may come up to you and ask you a question, though you don’t realize what they are until they disappear before your eyes. In other cases, you may feel a powerful wind blow against you, only to notice none of the trees in the cemetery are moving. In one notoriously haunted graveyard you may be struck with chest pains and shortness of breath.

In another cemetery, you may unexpectedly be flooded with vividly detailed memories that are not your own. Be cautious of weeping and moaning during a US Civil War re-enactment – it may not be from the actors. In some locations, you may have your picture only to check them later and realize that you weren’t quite as alone as you thought.

Are you ready to delve into the mysterious occurrences at haunted cemeteries the world over? If so, this is the book for you.
