Thrillers

Across continents, cultures, and generations, ghost stories rise from the shadows in strikingly similar forms—cries in the river mist, footsteps in the bamboo, a hound that remembers the dead, a creature stalking livestock under the plains' moonlight.

World of the Unseen is a chilling collection that gathers twelve uncanny encounters from around the world, each told in vivid, first-person voices that feel whispered across a kitchen table at midnight.

From Japan's haunted bamboo groves to Mexico's weeping river spirit, from spectral hounds on the English moorlands to modern legends like the chupacabra, these stories blend folklore, lived testimony, cultural memory, and atmospheric horror.

This book also includes:

• Preface, introduction, and cultural context • "Knowledge Pages" explaining regional spirit lore • Reading guidance and safety notes • Themes, motifs, and cross-cultural patterns • First-person accounts that feel startlingly real

Whether you read for folklore, fear, or curiosity, these tales remind us that the world keeps deeper memories than we think—and sometimes those memories walk.
