About this ebook

Take a dark descent into a world of supernatural evil! Explore true horrors of sinister spirits, ominous ghosts, angry souls, menacing monsters, malicious demons, and cursed creatures in this collection of the malevolent paranormal!

Sometimes the monsters are monsters — swimming the murky waters of Loch Ness, stalking their victims the streets of small town America, or hunting innocents across the desolate British moors. At other times, the darkness lies within the human soul itself — the falsely accused who were executed for witchcraft in Salem, those hounded to their graves (and beyond) by cruel pursuers, or those cursed by all forms of vile spirits. Then there are the devils and demons lurking in the darkness, capable of possessing and tormenting the living.

Master storyteller and seasoned paranormal investigator Richard Estep presents sinister hordes of evil in Dark Spirits: Monsters, Demons, and Devils. This fright-filled read spans the darkest realms of the paranormal, including …

Shapeshifters such as the menacing Skinwalkers of native mythology and ravenous, slavering werewolves

Dreaded ghosts and ominous hauntings, including John Wayne Gacy’s ghost, the Amityville haunting, and the Villisca Axe Murder House

Dark and evil curses, from the curse of Superman and Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist to the tomb of Egypt’s pharaoh Tutankhamun

Deadly demons and devils, like Dozmary Pool’s deal with the devil; Ronald Hunkeler, the Exorcist Boy; and the inhabitants of the Ammons demon house

Vampires and vampirism from Vlad the Impaler to Elizabeth Bathory, killer of hundreds, to the Highgate Vampire

Horrific accusations and deadly consequences that ripped through society from the Salem witch trials to the supernatural hysteria caused by the rapid spread of tuberculosis to the 1980s Satanic panic

Otherworldly encounters like the Black Eyed Children that appear out of nowhere, the Roswell Crash, unexplained animal mutilations, and abducted human beings

Cursed places, including the Bermuda Triangle, London’s haunted Underground, and Los Angeles’ notorious Hotel Cecil

And dozens more stories of dark and depraved paranormal beings and encounters.

Walk into the abyss of the whispered and veiled legends, the myths and first-person encounters in Dark Spirits. Learn about these frightening experiences and how they scarred lives forever. Explore the dark supernatural world around you—if you dare!
