Description
Over the past twenty-plus years, folk heritage researcher Shawn Morrissey has collected paranormal claims from across South Korea. The creepiest and most intriguing of these have been curated and released for the first time. But did anything printed in this book actually happen? Were two lovers truly tossed into gothic terror by bodiless fingertips inching up their caressing skin? Did a grand, ancient spirit actually comfort a grieving young woman? Are items in a small Seoul museum haunted? Did it all really happen? In the end, this book is a messenger open to the strange and extraordinary. Decisions are left to you.
