Press Release Body: There\'s nothing like a good spook to get into the Halloween
spirit.

ArcaMax Publishing, a family-friendly news and features publisher, asked its readers
to submit their scariest ghost stories. The response so far has totalled more than
60 ghostly encounters.

Imagine being in a strange hotel by yourself, and suddenly waking to see \"...the
outline of a man...He was tall wearing with a large coat and hat,\" according to P.
Turner, who remembers her sleepless night in an old motel room in Montana. \"As soon
as I turned the light on, he disappeared.\" Turner heard dragging sounds outside her
room for the rest of the night, and says she didn\'t stick around the next day to
investigate further.

Many of the stories (while still shiver-inducing) were also personal and
heartwarming -- including this one from reader M. Baker, whose grandmother was in
the hospital when Baker received a final visit:

\"I awoke suddenly from an exhausted sleep at the feel of my grandma\'s kiss on my
cheek,\" Baker writes. \"I lay awake, waiting for the phone call from the hospital.
Five minutes later, it came. Grandma had died at the exact moment I felt her kiss
me. She had come to say good-bye.\"

These stories and a list of the most famous haunted locations in the United States
are available at ArcaMax Publishing\'s special Halloween section,
