{ "item_title" : "True Hauntings", "item_author" : [" Reggie Max "], "item_description" : "A drainage tunnel where matches blow out on windless nights. An abandoned hospital where a dead nurse still makes her rounds. A suburban house where an invisible force dragged a girl up the stairs by her hair.These aren't campfire stories. They're documented.True Hauntings takes readers to ten of the most unsettling locations on the planet, across five continents, and lays out the evidence like a case file. Each chapter covers the real history behind the haunting, the eyewitness accounts, the strongest sceptical explanations, and the details that science still can't quite account for.What's inside: 10 real-world ghost stories investigated with primary sources, historical records, and eyewitness testimonyLocations spanning Canada, Singapore, England, South Africa, the USA, Japan, Italy, and moreInteractive sections in every chapter: Detective Questions, Photo Analysis, Would You Dare? scenarios, and Explain It If You Can challengesA Mystery Rating system (scored out of 15) so readers can compare and rank each case23 original illustrations in a dark ink wash styleWho is this book for?Written for readers aged 12 and up who like their facts with a side of goosebumps. The tone is smart and direct, like a friend who's done the research and is dying to tell you about it. No talking down. No dumbing things down. Just the history, the evidence, and room to make up your own mind.Parents and teachers: this one builds critical thinking without feeling like homework. Every chapter asks readers to weigh evidence, spot logical fallacies, and separate verified history from folklore. It just happens to do all of that through ghost stories.Featured locations include: The Screaming Tunnel (Ontario), Old Changi Hospital (Singapore), The Black Monk of Pontefract (England), The Flying Dutchman (South Africa), The Myrtles Plantation (Louisiana), Aokigahara Forest (Japan), The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall (Norfolk), Poveglia Island (Venice), Eastern State Penitentiary (Philadelphia), and The Tower of London.Fair warning: Some of these stories are genuinely unsettling. A few of them kept the author up past bedtime. If you're reading at night, keep the lights on.Includes content notes and crisis support information where appropriate. One chapter (Aokigahara Forest) addresses a location associated with suicide; it is clearly flagged and can be skipped without losing anything from the rest of the book.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/825/076/9798250763387_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "9.99", "online_price" : "9.99", "our_price" : "9.99", "club_price" : "9.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
