Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Catacombs stacked with six million skulls. A Japanese forest silent enough to swallow a scream. A fort in Rajasthan the government has legally forbidden anyone to enter after dark. A village where one woman's grief filled empty streets with life-sized dolls.Extraordinarily Creepy Places travels to one hundred of the world's darkest, strangest, and most historically haunted locations - from Auschwitz to Aokigahara, from Cerro Rico's silver mines to a Swedish vicarage that terrified generations of priests. Organized continent by continent, each entry digs past the campfire version of the story to the documented history underneath - and is honest about exactly where the two stop matching up.Guiding the whole unsettling tour is Craig Gerard Ferguson: self-described supernatural investigator, urban explorer, and unapologetically smug veteran of thirty-one years spent standing in rooms most people would rather not enter.
