Advent Calendar Day 7
BOOO! Er, I mean BRRRR!!!Or do I?
Happy Holidays! Today I'm giving away a hardcover copy of Classic Ghost Stories: Spooky Tales to Read at Christmas to one randomly selected lucky reader. (The book will not be available until after Christmas though, just so you know.)
I don't know about you, but I especially love spooky stories and vintage mysteries around the holidays. There's something peculiarly delightful about that weird blend of cozy and creepy.
To be eligible for this giveaway, share a real life spooky experience with us in the comment section below. It doesn't necessarily have to be your own experience, but you have to have got the story by word-of-mouth. And if it's a eerie story from around the holidays, even better!!!
And in the spirit of sharing spooky stories, here's a link to a three public domain ghost stories which you can read for free. A little something different for you coffee break (just don't walk home from work alone!) ;-)
Count Magnus by M.R. James
Afterward by Edith Wharton
The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton

Back when I was in college, my roommate and I decided to play with a ouija board. A friend of hers came in, and it got weird after that. The board spelled out that it would not answer if I (like meaning me!) had my hands on it. When this girl asked it why. It spelled out it was afraid. She asked it of what, and it spelled out God. I yanked my hands off and one girl ran out of the room screaming. It was chaos. To this day, I have no good explanation for that. My roommate and I will still mention it every once in the while, and we still freak out a bit even 25 years later.
