In 1990 three Wisconsin graduate students sought to allay their wintertime boredom by playing around with a Ouija board. It was the deadliest mistake they ever made. The three friends contacted the spirit of a serial killer known as The Bye Bye Man. And the more you think of his name, the more he hones in on you, traveling night and day to find you, until you hear the shrill, steady sound of his whistle letting you know that he is there -- right outside your bedroom door, maybe even speaking in the voice of someone you trust, someone who would never hurt you. This tale is accompanied by seven more chapters of twisted American history.
