<DIV><DIV><DIV>Scarier and stranger than any multiplex horror movie, <I>Weird Encounters</I> features more than 75 supernatural stories contributed by writers from across the country. Compiled by Joanne M. Austin, editor of the hugely successful <I>Weird Hauntings</I>, this chilling anthology tells of ?Historic Haunts,” and ?Hostel Environments” and conjures up a host of phantasms, paranormal pranksters, and devilishly destructive spirits-like the deceased owner of an Illinois inn whose ghost gets fresh with his female patrons and the bridge in Mississippi that's haunted by a serial murderer and his victims.</div></DIV></DIV>
