ONE DARK NIGHT
MAD GASSERS, BLACK GHOSTS, AND AMERICA'S OTHER SINISTER STRANGERS
For more than three centuries, America has been plagued by phantom figures, strange happenings, and sinister strangers who come and go without explanation. Although usually dismissed as "mass hysteria," these events often involve hundreds of people and even entire towns - all of them chasing after anomalous figures that shouldn't exist - and yet they do!
These strangers wreak havoc for a time and then vanish without a trace, leaving no clue as to their purpose or why they committed the strange acts that they did. What do they want? No one can say - but whatever these weird apparitions might be, they have left an indelible mark on the haunted landscape of America and have become a part of our strange history that few are familiar with until now!
Author Troy Taylor presents a book that is unlike anything else he has ever written, uncovering bizarre events and strange happenings that have never appeared anywhere before. Some of these incidents are so strange that you may not believe them and yet they're true:
* In the late 1800s and early 1900s, towns across America were visited by "black ghosts," shapeless, often malevolent black creatures that terrified people and physically attacked them.
* Starting in the 1980s, a string of evil clown sightings began across America, extending into the present day.
* Mysterious "women in black" have been sighted across the country since the late 1800s and each time, they serve as a portent of doom - are they real or fiction?
* The Mad Gasser of Mattoon may be one of the most famous sinister strangers of all time, but many don't know that the Gasser - or someone just like him - also struck in Virginia 11 years earlier!
* From Phantom Stabbers to Invisible Barbers, Leaping Blue Men, Bunny Men, and more, you'll be baffled, unnerved, and even frightened by this book - so you may not want to read it alone!
