Terrors of the Night by Colombo
Terrors of the Night: Canadian Accounts of Eerie Events and Weird Experiences (2005)
by John Robert Columbo
229 pages - The Dundurn Group

A collection of various accounts of unusual and uncanny events, mostly gathered from old newspaper pieces, and usually a page or two in length. Categories are: Witchery and Magic, Earthly Powers, Wild Things, Hardly Human, Omens and Prophecies, Powers Beyound Ours, Miracles and Other Cures, and Inquiry into the Bizarre.

Because of the nature of the book, being mostly old newspaper clippings with a short introduction, reading this is a bit of a fragmented and inconsistent experience. A lot of these pieces are simply the result of being from publications that obviously had a very broad and creative idea of what constitutes 'news'. Probably the most interesting part is the last chapter, 'Inquiry into the Bizarre', which consists of some responses that were received from a 1978 survey that asked people to send in their own weird experiences.
