Scarier and stranger than any multiplex horror movie,Weird Encountersfeatures more than 75 supernatural stories contributed by writers from across the country. Compiled by Joanne M. Austin, editor of the hugely successfulWeird Hauntings, this chilling anthology tells of "Historic Haunts," and "Hostel Environments" and conjures up a host of phantasms, paranormal pranksters, and devilishly destructive spirits-like the deceased owner of an Illinois inn whose ghost gets fresh with his female patrons and the bridge in Mississippi that's haunted by a serial murderer and his victims.
