The desire to engage with the supernatural has become a multimillion pound industry, spawning countless bestselling books and TV series and luring millions to haunted castles, UFO hotspots, and sacred sites around the world. This thrilling, colourful book, filled with information on more than 600 supernatural sites, is the ultimate guide to exploring the world's supernatural heritage.

Reviews"The brief bites (with excellent photos and art) visit haunted houses, vampire lairs, witches' covens and UFO "hot spots" while addressing legends and myths." --The Sacramento Bee "[A] richly illustrated homage to all things spooky." --Chicago Tribune "Each has the story of the place with just enough information to whet one's appetite. If that's not enough, the photographs and illustrations are darkly delicious." --San Francisco Book Review "An armchair tour of all the creepiest, eeriest, most mysterious places around the globe." --Women's Adventure Magazine
