More Haunted Stories, edited by A.L. Furman and published by Pocket Books (1975), is a chilling anthology featuring nine eerie tales that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From Roger Jackson's "The Secret in the Lost Gunboat," where a sunken vessel harbors a haunting secret, to Carl Henry Rathjen's "The Carefree Ghostess," which offers a light-hearted yet spooky encounter with a playful spirit, each story brings its own brand of terror. Audrey Wendlan's "The Riddle of Roundtree Schoolhouse" explores the mysteries of an abandoned school, while Nancy MacRoberts' "The Photo Phantom" uncovers unsettling truths hidden in a photograph. In Ludmilla Bollow's "The Shots Played at Midnight," ghostly gunshots echo in a small town, and Agnes Staudy's "Cave of the Lost" reveals terrifying discoveries in an underground cavern. The anthology continues with Margaret and George Ogan's "The Haunted Canyon," set in a remote and supernatural location, Wilma Bednarz's "The Haunted Elevator," where an ordinary lift becomes a passage to the unknown, and concludes with Irma Schmidt's "Ghost by Daylight," where a ghostly apparition defies logic by appearing in broad daylight. Each story in this collection is bound to send shivers down your spine.
