It's been so hot lately that we're starting to wonder if someone left the gates of Hell open. Then we dusted off a few tales from the Castle of Spirits archives... and suddenly the heat wasn't the most unsettling thing keeping us up at night.

Story #1: Child Voices (submitted by Anonymous, Michigan, USA) — A late-night trip to the bathroom is interrupted by the hushed voices of unseen children.

Story #2: The Third Floor (submitted by Kryssie, PA, USA) — A former monastery turned Bible college becomes the setting for phantom footsteps, a piano with no player, and a bloodied figure that vanishes without a trace.

Story #3: Books (submitted by Anonymous, USA) — A family's bargain apartment seems almost too good to be true—until a mysterious little girl in a red dress makes them think twice about sticking around.

Story #4: Corpse Eyes (submitted by Mike, Kanagawa, Japan) — A quiet walk along Tokyo Bay leads to an encounter with a mysterious woman whose lifeless gaze still haunts a former military policeman decades later.

So crank the A/C, grab an ice cream cone (or a bucket of ice), and join us as we try to beat the heat the only way we know how—with four true ghost stories cold enough to send a shiver down your spine.
