The World of Lore: Dreadful Places by Aaron Mahnke

The World of Lore: Dreadful Places
Delving into the dreadful places of the world, well-researched and scary and tongue-in-cheek, this book explores some infamous and not-so-notorious sites of tragedy and terror, where disappearances, murders, and bizarre accidents have occurred. New Orleans, Peoria, cemeteries, castles, lighthouses, ships, and forests . . . all have their strange horror stories.
Edinburgh's Greyfriars Cemetery, the Bell Witch, a murdered sultan in New Orleans, a red dwarf, an Irish monster, and poltergeists make appearances here. It's a fascinating read, revealing that, sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.
