Travel Tales: Scary StoriesIs also a collection of the fearful sorts of things that can and do happen to some travelers on occasion, but mainly these things will not happen to you. But if they do, you may get to experience real, raw fear including sometimes even fear for your very own life. These are very unsettling occasions that pop up now and again in your travels.This collection of true travel tales is the place to hear about them. I hope they don’t happen to you, but if they do, I hope you’ll manage to escape and overcome. Hopefully, you’ll be all the wiser for reading about the scary tales of others told throughout these pages.Scary Stories includes many examples of bad things that sometimes do happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should certainly at least do our best to escape them. And reading about the scary stories of others is helpful.While there’s no easy, simple list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and surviving each dangerous situation that may arise in life and travel, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in this reader of scary and frightening tales that’ll enable one to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes.While many of the tales in this book are not strictly about life and death situations, some of them are, and some are about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances situations that we all would do well to avoid and certainly do without.The scope and variety of the scary tales in this book may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. Some are even funny like, for example, El Diablo Rojo Loco, the story of riding the Crazy Red Devil "chicken bus" along the horrifying scary mountain roads of Panama.
