Hello everyone, the post this week has a small selection of paranormal stories I read over the years. If you’re wondering why I’ve got these separated from the others from last week, the main reason is because the stories are not just about ghosts, but also about phenomena that are strange and unexplainable!

A Trio of Kiwi Teen Tales
Hi everyone, this week I’m giving you a post with a trio of Kiwi teen tales. There might be a post with one of them from a few years ago, but the other two were ones I read not too long ago.

In the end, the title I decided to review came to me by way of one of my colleagues in the library I work for. (Thanks Kathy 🙂) I hope you all enjoy the title I’m sharing with you this week.
