The historically researched, scrupulously verified, and always shockingly true tales in this collection come from an America that lies beyond the skyscrapers, cornfields, and suburban strip malls where we make our homes-a place where monsters guard buried treasures, schoolgirls develop stigmata, and there's weird lurking around every corner.

There's a wild and weird side to America's past, filled with strange creatures, bizarre happenings, and fantastical figures.

The California family driven insane by Ouija board seances, and the national panic that they ignited The West Virginia town named after its resident poltergeist, who was obsessed with cutting everything into crescent shapes. The Antichrist-obsessed cult leader whose disciples became brutal murderers, all in the name of saving her (and the world). You'll also learn about homemade guillotines, magical ape-men on Mount. St. Helens, the psychic who broughta crystal ball into the White House, and the origins of those baffling modern bogeys, evil clownsin vans.

The historically researched, scrupulously verified, and always shockingly true tales in this collection come from an America that lies beyond the skyscrapers, cornfields, and suburban strip malls where we make our homes-a place where monsters guard buried treasures, schoolgirls develop stigmata, and there's weird lurking around every corner.
