Tells the stories of a man who foresaw his own death, a ghost who solved a murder, a mummy's curse, a haunted museum, and a phantom sailor.

This book is ABSOLUTELY a great book. My son loved all thirteen stories and I think you would like it too. The stories grab you in and never let go.

This was one of my first forays into mystery (or horror!) literature when I was a kid. It came from the Scholastic Book Club, probably when I was in seventh grade or so, having been published in 1988, I believe. It's regrettably short, only about 85 pages, and the stories are fascinating, so I would have liked to have had a bit more information about them. Ranging in period from ancient to modern, it offers short vignettes about some well-known encounters with the paranormal. Definitely kid-friendly, but intriguing enough to make even adults want to learn more about each of these fascinating cases.
