When our family gets together for special times such as holidays, birthdays or just times to be together, we start telling about things we recall from years past. Often these stories are about times that we were quite frightened. On one such occasion, I remarked that we should compile these scary stories into a book. Someone said, "That's a good idea. Why don't you do it?" Since I had written several books, I thought, "Yes, why not?" This book is the result of that idea.
