title: After Dark a Collection of Haunting Tales
author: Inc Diversion Press
description: I wrote The Monroe Ghost in this anthology. It is a true story of the house that my best friend in the neighborhood lived in. The teacher that lived in the neighborhood told her mom to move out of the house due to a curse. Her dad died in the house. Following his death several unexplained events happened that scared us, including my own personal encounter with a ghost. Enjoy the story and keep the lights on when you read it. Terry Weber
