Some hauntings want to be remembered. Others want you to become part of the story.
Ten allegedly true accounts. Ten encounters with things that should not exist. Ten stories reconstructed from the kind of details that are hardest to explain away.
A woman appears beside sleeping victims who cannot move. A forest suddenly loses every sound before something begins moving between the trees. Security guards discover children wandering the corridors of an empty school after midnight, leading investigators toward a crime that powerful people believed had been buried decades earlier. Guests at a vacation rental independently describe the same impossible woman. A dog refuses to cross the threshold of a house where something terrible once happened. Coworkers begin dreaming about the same man. Three knocks precede death. And, in the darkness between what witnesses remember and what investigators can prove, something keeps appearing.
Welcome back to Mae Harlow's darkest collection of Allegedly True Horror stories.
Hauntings & Ghost Encounters: Volume 2 is a disturbing collection of paranormal horror, ghost stories, supernatural encounters, haunted places, unexplained phenomena, and terrifying supposedly true accounts written for adult horror readers. It is significantly more twisted than Volume 1.
These are not comforting ghost stories. There are no friendly spirits waiting to deliver a final message. No sentimental reunions with the dead. No promise that understanding what haunts a place will make it disappear. Instead, ordinary people encounter something impossible and make the mistake of trying to understand it. What begins as a strange sound, an unexplained figure, an empty hallway, an unusual dream, or an animal behaving strangely gradually becomes something physical, violent and horrifyingly difficult to dismiss.
Each standalone story descends into its own nightmare, with a different haunting, setting, supernatural mechanism and revelation. Hidden deaths surface. Buildings remember what happened inside them. The dead refuse to remain where they were placed. Familiar explanations collapse. And, sometimes the entity everyone fears turns out to be only the beginning.
Written in an immersive, atmospheric style for readers who love dark paranormal horror, terrifying ghost stories, creepypasta, haunted-house fiction, supernatural mysteries, disturbing short stories, unexplained encounters, psychological horror, and allegedly true scary stories, this collection is designed to feel uncomfortably plausible.
Dates are specific, places feel familiar, witnesses behave like ordinary people, and the horror rarely begins where you expect it to; because the most frightening accounts are rarely the ones that ask you to believe immediately. They give you evidence. They let you doubt. They leave one detail that refuses to fit. Then, they let you decide what happened.
Read the first account, then decide how many of these stories you still believe are only stories.
Intended for adult readers. Contains disturbing themes, violence, death, and intense supernatural horror.
About The Author
Every legend begins with someone who swore it really happened.Exploring the place where folklore, fear, and forgotten truths meet, Canadian Pacific Northwest author Mae Harlow writes stories for readers who have always wondered whether the world's strangest legends might contain a fragment of truth.
Her books blend immersive gothic atmosphere with modern storytelling, drawing inspiration from allegedly true hauntings, forgotten history, unexplained phenomena, paranormal encounters, and the countless mysteries that continue to resist explanation.
Across every book runs the same question: What if the stories people dismiss as impossible are simply the ones that survived being forgotten?
