This was a pretty good short story collection. I liked As strong as death the best but I found a fair few of them pretty creepy.

Some great original stories as well as an interesting list of reported ghost activities at EH sites. Learnt a lot about some cool sites I’ve not yet been to, and look forward to seeing.
