Book Synopsis



Read 26 chilling stories, written by two paranormal investigators, about reportedly true encounters with monsters in California and the Southwest.


A mysterious beast preys upon animals at a popular zoo. Trapped on an island, two men are stalked by a dragon-like animal. A soldier is attacked by a large, hair-covered creature outside a guard station. Two men ride into a forest on horseback and capture the most famous video footage of Bigfoot ever recorded. The Southwest's history includes several unimaginable encounters with legendary creatures. This collection of "ghost stories" presents the creepiest, most surprising tales of monsters in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.


Authors Jessica Freeburg and Natalie Fowler are active paranormal investigators with a shared fascination for things that go bump in the night. The professional writers spent countless hours combing the region for the strangest and scariest run-ins with the unexplained.


Horror fans and history buffs will delight in these 26 terrifying tales. They're based on reportedly true accounts, proving that the Southwestern USA is the setting for some of the most unnerving monster tales ever told. The short stories are ideal for quick reading, and they are sure to captivate even the most reluctant of readers. Share them with friends around a campfire or try them alone at home--if you dare.
