100 Ghost Tales Around the World
Ghostly shadows emerge, spirits whisper, and the terrifying legends from around the world are revealed in this book.
100 Tales of Ghosts from Around the World collects classic ghost stories from 100 countries, taking you on a journey through supernatural legends from different cultures. From Japan's "Umbrella Ghost" to the Edinburgh specters of Scotland, from Mexico's "Crying Woman" to Egypt's Pharaoh's Curse, these stories have been passed down for centuries and still send chills down the spine.
The book covers themes like urban legends, ancient curses, vengeful ghosts, and forbidden rituals. Some stories stem from religious beliefs, such as Iran's evil spirits, Daeva; others bear witness to history, like the royal ghosts of the Tower of London; and some still haunt locals today, such as Thailand's "Nana Ghost." These stories are not just terrifying legends; they reflect humanity's awe of death and the unknown.
100 countries, 100 ghost stories, 100 kinds of fear.
Welcome to open 100 Tales of Ghosts from Around the World and embark on this supernatural journey across the world.
