Dark Mysteries #22

In "Hand of Destiny," archeologist Reid Cragg unearths a mummified hand from an Egyptian tomb—once the tool of a long-dead executioner. When he commands it to kill two enemies, the hand obeys with chilling precision, and soon it begins to follow him across the world, no matter how far he flees.

In "Spectral Lighthouse," Bob and Ann Dart find themselves drawn to an isolated, forgotten lighthouse during a sailing trip—only to be confronted by the haunting remnants of ghostly pirates. With the eerie glow of the tower casting long shadows, their only hope for escape lies in the steady hum of their modern outboard motor.

In "Haunted Voice," Korean War veteran Mark Sterling, now deaf, finds a new hearing aid that brings more than just sound—it delivers a ghostly voice whispering secrets of a crime. The voice guides him to uncover a bank robbery scheme, putting him on a dangerous path where the line between help and haunting blurs.

In "Pal Trouble," the uneasy bond between two hobo partners takes a dark turn when Pete, betrayed and cast out, returns as a vengeful ghost to torment Mike with eerie, cruel tricks. The story unfolds with a creeping dread, as the past comes back to haunt one man in ways that blur the line between guilt and the supernatural.
