5.0 out of 5 stars YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO GO TO BED AFTER READING A CHAPTER!, March 29, 2008

"Cincinnati Ghosts" is for everyone who loves a good ghost story...especially REAL ONES. I've read several fictional ghost stories that spook the daylights out of me and several real life accounts that are interesting but not very spooky. Well, this book combines the first-hand actual accounts WITH all the spine tingling story telling! The end result is one great book. Ms. Laven does an excellent job of giving you all the facts and research but also keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's everything you hope for in a ghost book. Ghost-Hunters all over the nation will want to move to the tri-state area after reading it. I hope there's a sequel! WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE HOME ALONE AT NIGHT!

I had never heard of this author but decided to take a chance on this book anyway, and I'm glad I did. This book is full of original, personally investigated/recounted material - the kind of ghost book that I always hope to find but all too seldom do. If you enjoy reading well-written accounts of true hauntings and investigations that you haven't read anywhere else before, get this enjoyable book.
