The Book That Haunted Libraries

In 1959, a former war correspondent named C.B. Colby published a slim book called Strangely Enough — eighty short accounts of the unexplained, shelved in nonfiction in school libraries across America. Dr. Edmund Rowe, British folklorist and cultural historian, joins Sterling to dig into the coffins that moved in a sealed vault, the television signal received from a dead station, the hundred miles of inexplicable footprints in Devon snow, and the strange fact that Colby died on Halloween night, 1977.
