Description

National Monuments Urban Legends explores the dark folklore surrounding real monuments you can still visit today. Each chapter blends historical detail with chilling urban legends, creating believable, atmospheric horror rooted in real places. At the Lincoln Memorial, visitors report the statue's eyes following them at night. At the Washington Monument, lightning strikes with unnatural precision. At the Jefferson Memorial, spoken words return altered, as if the walls themselves are listening.

These stories don't rely on monsters or jump scares. They rely on place—architecture, symbolism, and memory layered so deeply that something begins to press back. The horror is subtle, slow, and unsettling, designed to linger long after you close the book.

This book is perfect for readers who love:
