Salvation comes with an invitation to join The Last Chance, an exclusive fraternity of former cops and forensic experts who look into unsolved murders.

I've always loved a good ghost story. Just wish ghost stories were better filmed these days. Personally I thought the movies "Sixth Sense" (about a clairvoyant kid with a psychopompic vocation) and "The Others" (ghost stories are always better with Irish ghosts in them!) were surprisingly good, even though they got mixed reviews. I like the novel The Shining better than the movie, which doesn't follow the book well at all (the film does nothing whatsoever with the father-son relationship, which is critical to the story). I don't watch slasher films much; they have no storyline to speak of.

I rented a room once in a haunted house near Frederick, Maryland for six months back in 1989. The resident ghost was a very quiet old black lady, the owner's grandmother, or something. She really didn't bother anyone; just a nice old lady keeping an eye on her old house...

The best scary short story ever is "Christmas Eve on a Haunted Hulk" by Frank Cowper. It scared the bejeeses out of me. Not a good one to read when you're all alone at night.

I used to be "glued" to a "horror" book all of the time. I remember being really, really scared while reading The Shining, by Stephen King, back in the late '70's -- He is still my favorite "horror" writer. Best to You!
