Books About People Experiencing Supernatural Events in Real Life
Looking for books like "Fourteen Years of Ghost Hunting (Complete in Five Volumes)". I want stories about real paranormal cases. It’d be even better if there’s a chapter showing what happens to people who abuse small animals! (I really want to know what becomes of them.)

The opening scene, set in the girls' dormitory bathroom, quickly creates a sinister atmosphere through descriptions of a damp, musty environment and flickering lighting. In addition, the inclusion of folk elements such as paper money and straw paper adds a touch of localized eeriness to the horror scene.
This book is more than just a horror/supernatural story; it contains many things we should learn and know. For example, things to be aware of when renting a house, the dangers of abortion, and the importance of not taking advantage of honest people. I thank the author for sharing these little-known stories with us through each one.
I held onto my phone the whole time, not daring to let go. Several times I wanted to skip it but couldn't resist my curiosity and kept watching. After watching, I was too scared to go to the bathroom and stayed up until dawn before I dared to sleep! I sincerely suggest not watching it at night. People with weak hearts should beware, the level of horror is really off the charts, and the aftereffects are too strong to recover from!
Opening this collection of folk ghost stories is like pushing open a hidden door to a mysterious world. The author uses delicate strokes to depict a series of chilling yet captivating supernatural events, each story subtly questioning human nature.
The author takes us on a first-person journey into a rural landscape shrouded in silence. Those ancestral taboos, passed down through generations, are revealed as boundary markers between life and death. The imagery is vivid: the deserted village, the twilight, the shadows—all seem almost real. This isn't a tale of the bizarre; it's a survival warning forged in blood and tears, leaving a chilling feeling long after reading. 👍
This book is not a supernatural novel in the usual sense; it is more like a survival journal woven from rural secrets and ancient taboos. There are no flying gods or ghosts in the book, but it focuses on those things that are passed down by word of mouth that "cannot be touched"—road signs, white crows, copper coins in old houses, strange objects in the hands of children on rainy nights...
A collection of supernatural short stories, each chapter a thriller, the more you read, the more addictive they become. This collection of supernatural short stories is a treasure for suspense lovers! The author is so good at captivating readers—each chapter is an independent story, concise yet incredibly engaging, making it impossible to put down once you start reading.
A true account of rural survival steeped in the blood-red twilight. NightWind777, in the first person, dissects those "untouchable" taboos, each one stained with the scars of past lives. The deathly aura on the roadside markers, the infant souls snatched away by white crows, the broken nails on a child's palm—these rules, silently guarded by generations, are in fact the final boundary between…
Author Yefeng777, written from a first-person perspective, presents a true account of rural survival steeped in the blood-red twilight. The book dissects ancient taboos stained with human lives, such as the deathly aura on roadside markers, the souls of infants lured away by white crows, and the broken nails on children's palms—these laws, silently guarded for generations, are in essence the…
This is a supernatural story that will send chills down your spine as you read on! It doesn't write about fantastical immortals and monsters, but focuses on taboos in the countryside that involve human lives—you can't touch the road signs, you can't chase away the white crows in the maternity ward, and every "cannot do" is a warning to the living to walk through the gates of hell.
