Coast To Coast Ghosts: True Stories of Hauntings Across America [Paperback]

Leslie Rule (Author), Ann Rule (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 7, 2001

An employee of the St. James Hotel in New Mexico watches in shock as a fair-haired toddler with a terribly disfigured face disappears into the floor. This is just one of the paranormal mysteries Leslie Rule shares with us-a result of extensive interviews and research uncovering the reasons behind ghost sightings across the country. Coast to Coast Ghosts features dozens of spine-tingling, real-life ghost stories and approximately 50 black-and-white photographs, taken by Rule, including some believed to have captured actual apparitions. Only the reader can decide. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars superb storytelling style, February 5, 2002

This review is from: Coast To Coast Ghosts: True Stories of Hauntings Across America (Paperback)

"Coast to Coast Ghosts" will draw you in immediately with Leslie Rule's easy, conversational style and with the dramatic pictures she took at various haunted sites all over the US. If you take the attitude, "There ain't no such thing as a ghost", Rule's book may make you re-examine your thinking. Remember that a corollary of Einstein's breakthrough relativity theory is that time and space are not linear; instead they are relative to each other, and linked in ways that are yet beyond our understanding.
Both fun and fascinating, this book is a marvelous addition to the literature of the paranomal in America. Skeptics will be intrigued, and believers will be delighted. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Ghost Story Lovers, August 23, 2001

This review is from: Coast To Coast Ghosts: True Stories of Hauntings Across America (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I've read about true ghost stories. The writer reaches right in and grabs your attention...making you feel like your right there, experiencing these events right along with the helpless victims sharing their lives with these spirits. Included with the ghostly tales are a listing of haunted colleges and information to "signs that a place is haunted". It was wonderful to read that this writer was not just writing about other peoples experiences, but she includes several of her own personal experiences with ghosts...making me realize that she just didn't interview and write, she was sympathetic to something she understood to be true, something she has personally experienced. I would highly recommend this book to all that are crazy about reading true ghost stories. Fantastic writer! Hope to see more books from Leslie Rule in the future on this subject!!

First-rate author Leslie Rule narrates one true ghostly ncounter after another in this fascinating read! Leslie's personal experiences have given her an added insight into her spellbinding subject. Her empathy for others who have experienced unexplainable events and her ability to make
them real to the reader jump right off the page. Arm yourself with a supply of snacks and nestle down in your favorite reading spot, as you won't want to put this one down until you reach the end!
