Have you ever felt the chill of the unseen, or the whisper of a shadow just out of sight? Dive into real encounters with the unknown.

Each tale is a testament to the mysteries that exist in our world, shared by those who've experienced them firsthand.

50 Real Ghost Stories 3: Spirits in the Shadows by MJ Wayland
This is an easy read, about 3 hours. I have also had encounters with the spirit world so found this to be very affirming. The man I saw was dressed in clothing of a worker on a train. He walked padt my third story window and 15 minutes later, he walked pass going in the opposite direction. It was in February and we had had a little snow. When I looked out the window, there were no footprints. I didn't feel afraid in any way. In fact, I felt vindicated in my belief in the spirit world. I have also had experiences with my grandmother after she passed and my daughter who had also passed very young. I found those encounters to be very comforting.
