I don't care what the book data says, this book was around circa 1973, and I read about the Loch Ness Monster, and the Tumbling Dead, and some guy that didn't go on an elevator because he recognized a ghost.
Scared the hell out of little me, because it couldn't be in a non-fiction book with '...but True' in the title if it weren't TRUE.
I will give it a second star because it has stuff about the Loch Ness Monster, which is the junk science subject I still want most to be true.

I think this was probably a parent's book or maybe a brother's book because I read this when I was probably about 10 or so.... which was 2005. I remember a few stories, one about a tiny man in an elevator, one about a girl on a train, and one about a girl falling 6 miles out of a plane. The stories absolutely terrified me as a child but I adored the book and reread it over and over again. I may have to dig this out of the attic just to reread a few of my favorite stories.
The title is misleading and it should be noted that the terms 'true' and 'stories' are both in it. I, even as a 10 year old, concluded that though the stories were strange, they COULDN'T be true. I suppose I was a realist even at that age. They are indeed opinions and retellings and would have to be researched further to determine the accuracy of the context.
