Night Ghost

In Night Ghost by Nick C. Brady, a spooky adventure into an abandoned cemetery goes horribly wrong for a group of 4 teens as they find themselves stalked. Three high-school friends, Suellen, Slim, and Brandon are inquisitive about the abandoned cemetery near their homes which they pass by on their way back from school. Andre, Suellen's brother, tells them about a local superstition that claims anyone who walks across one of the graves will be plagued by the spirit of the angry man buried there. The party chooses to trespass one night into the cemetery in hopes of seeing if there’s any truth to the ominous ghost story. However, the sudden arrival of the cops and the headlining news of an escaped serial killer on the loose bring their menacing adventure to an early end. But tension begins to rise as the group of friends notice they are being tailed, preyed upon, and terrorized by something that seems more than just an old man’s ghost. Soon, the four young people become embroiled in events that may be far more perilous than being tormented by a ghost in a cemetery.
