Spookiest moments in the OUTLANDER books
With Halloween approaching, I thought it might be fun to talk about some of the spookiest, scariest, or most eerie moments in Diana Gabaldon's books. What are some of your favorites?
Here are a few of mine:
- Margaret Campbell speaking in Brianna's voice, in the "crocodile" scene in VOYAGER (Chapter 61, "The Crocodile's Fire"). That always gives me shivers, especially the audio version!
- Claire seeing Otter-Tooth's ghost in DRUMS OF AUTUMN (Chapter 23, "The Skull Beneath the Skin"), and her shoes appearing on the doorstep of their cabin on the Ridge.
- Lord John's encounter with a zombie in his bedchamber, in "Plague of Zombies".
What about the rest of you?

Rob Cameron gives me the chills... corbies picking out jellified eyes is pretty gruesome... and I'm not real fond of Obidiah Henderson. Willie, Rachel and Denzel's encounter in the cabin is another rather freaky encounter that sets off goosebumps...
