Have you ever sat in a movie theater, ready to scare yourself silly with the latest horror movie and feel yourself get chills when you read the prelude: "based on a true story"? Well, that creepy little warning isn't just for movies. In fact, many of those were adapted from books. From true accounts of demonic possessions and haunted houses to lost and wayward spirits and the people dedicated to documenting the unexplainable. No amount of special effects, creepy soundtracks, and camera tricks can outdo a chilling story written by those who lived through the horror and survived to tell the tale.
So, if you're looking for a hair-raising read or two, check out our list of the scariest non-fiction books based on true-life hauntings and paranormal cases.
