29 Paranormal Facts to Tell Around the Campfire

While fact-finding in the late hours of a dark night, we heard a loud noise coming from the backyard. Being the curious types, we grabbed a flashlight and ventured out into the blackness. That lone, thin beam of light led us to crazy old Mr. Johnsons toolshed. 

BANG! Another loud crash almost sent us right out of our boots, but for some reason, we pressed on. With one deep breath, we peered around the corner of the toolshed, and the blood completely left us. Pale as a ghost from head to toe, we gazed down at the most terrifying batch of facts you could imagine.

Now, if youre the skeptical type who doesnt believe that a fact batch can strike fear, then why dont you just take a look for yourself?
