Don't Go There - by J W Ocker (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Have you ever visited a forest or an abandoned building and gotten a bad vibe? There are places that are rife with rumors of hauntings, monsters, and sinister phenomena that can't be explained. And there are just as many sites that are the confirmed home of disasters, murders, and man-made mistakes. Everyone's heard about the Bermuda Triangle, but do you know these chilling sites?

• Roopkund: There's a lake tucked high in the frozen Himalayan Mountains . . . and it's full of skeletons.
• Mount Shasta: This mysterious mountain in California inspired the I AM cult and is said to host UFOs, bigfoots, and lizard people.
• Nahanni National Park: Called the "Valley of the Headless Men," this national park in northern Canada is famous for legends of a hidden gold mine . . . and a series of decapitated miners.
• Pine Barrens: Best known as the home of the Jersey Devil, this desolate pine forest has also hosted pirates, the mafia, and moonshiners.
• Ciudad Blanca: This fabled pre-Columbian "Lost City of the Monkey God" in Honduras doesn't want to be found, and explorers seeking it have met violent ends.

Award-winning travel writer and dark history expert J. W. Ocker explores these and many more locales around the world in this fascinating illustrated compendium that will ignite curiosity . . . and perhaps inspire some dubious travel plans.
