I've been looking for this book for ages. The first time I've read it, I copied a lot of facts described in here in a little notebook I have. Because every single crazy fact was amazing, these artist were so mad. I have to get a copy. Amazing book for any age: adult, child, etc.

text Casting the Runes and Other Ghost Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
I MUST read ghost stories on Halloween but can only handle those that are basically one step up from Casper in terms of scares. Most of these were already in the other James book I read but there were a few new ones and a very creepy one involving hair.
