    About this ebook

    There were only three rules when Joshua P. Warren began collecting these stories from around the world: they had to be true, they had to be short, and they had to send a shiver down your spine.It Was a Dark and Creepy Night presents a wide variety of weird and spooky tales about ghosts, UFOs, cryptids, angels, demons, ESP, interdimensional contact, and more. Because each tale is short, this eerie little tome is perfect for a subway ride, a plane flight, or a night entertaining guests.

    An internationally respected investigator of the unknown, Joshua adds his insight to these strange experiences. Some tales are too odd to easily categorize, but each one simple or complex transformed an ordinary person’s life, revealing a facet of those uncanny phenomena that still leave us wondering…what if?

    Imagine if:
  • You met a strange woman who said she remembered Lincoln’s funeral, then vanished. . . .
  • You dreamed you were being attacked by a demon and woke up to find scratch marks across your body. . . .
  • The face of the person in front of you suddenly transformed into that of a reptilian. . . .

    Remember: These and the many other tales in this fascinating book are true, short, and eminently creepy!

      Some of them I found possible...some I found to be maybe possible...but a great majority of them I found to be possibly the product of an over active imagination or as Scrooge thought...an undigested slice of under-cooked roast beef. The best I can say was that most had entertaining value and I believe that is what the author was going for. Too bad that as an investigator that he didn't give any opinion of his thoughts about the possibilities.
    • 3/5
      I have read many types of books that are based on hauntings, etc. and this was the most difficult book for me to read. It contained various stories from different types of people in their own words, which was unique. However, this made it somewhat difficult to read. Most of the stories were not what I would consider creepy or scary in the least. A couple were strange, but nothing I would get excited over. I understand that the author wanted to give the tales an authentic twist by allowing the experienced person to 'submit their story'. I just had a hard time following the various types of writing patterns that often turned into speaking terms for me. Half of the stories were dull and were obviously bull. I am not a huge fan of alien stories, but I will give them a go. I actually had to skip the last two UFO tales, they were just too long for me. If you are looking for a book that covers paranormal subjects in general that this book might be for you. If you are a person that covets the ghostly side of things than you will more than likely dislike this body of work. I cannot recommend this book at all. In fact I would just check it out at the library.
