[Patrick 01] • Three True Tales of Terror · A True Hauntings' Collection

** *What's better than one ghost story? Three TRUE ghost stories!* **

Are you afraid of things that go "bump" in the night? Myabe you *should* be!

All previously released short books, *Three True Tales of Terror* is the collection of three of Rebecca Patrick-Howard’s personal, true hauntings accounts. The ghost story collection is newly edited with updates and new photographs for the stories. 

**FOUR MONTHS OF TERROR **

** *A single mother, a child, and one terrifying house...* **

In 1990, a single mother and her 10-year-old daughter moved into an old house in a quiet central Kentucky town. Their excitement of living in a piece of history fades, however, as they slowly become convinced there's something malevolent in the walls of their rental property. From the ghostly footsteps at night to the splatters of blood they wake up to on their sheets each morning, it becomes quite evident that they aren't alone... 

Although they only lived in the house for four months, for a child it was a time of chilling terror that she would never forget. In this short tale, Rebecca calls upon her child's memory to recollect the experiences that still haunt her today. 

**A SUMMER OF FEAR**

** *She should have followed her instincts about the old job and farm house...* **

Feeling emotionally drained, discouraged, and beaten from a recent job experience, taking the live-in position at the New Hampshire resort for the summer sounded like the perfect idea. Rebecca figured she’d be able to build up her savings, explore the local area, and bide her time until graduate school started in the fall.

She didn’t count on the isolation, loneliness, and horror that awaited her in the 200-hundred-year old farm house, however. 

For at least a month, before the rest of the staff arrived, she’d be alone in the mountains without a single soul for miles. With no telephone or form of communication with the outside world at night, she was understandably nervous. 

But, as it turned out, Rebecca was NOT alone. Someone or some*thing* knew she was there. It watched her, listened to her, and waited. Was it trying to run or off, or was it trying to make her stay?

What happened in the farm house? Was she losing her mind? Was something toying with her? One thing was for sure: This was a job she would never forget!

**THE MAPLE HOUSE (originally published under Jeanie Dyer) **

* **It was meant to be their dream home...it became a house of horror and tragedy. ** *

It was the perfect place– the big house on the mountain with the beautiful porches, soaring ceilings, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. It turned into a parent's worst nightmare.
