Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-For those readers who would like to see Elvis at the supermarket, or who believe that Poe still haunts his Baltimore home, here is a book rife with speculation about famous people-authors, royalty, and actors. The text is divided into short, easy-to-read chapters. Cohen gives a bit of information about each supposed occurrence, but cites no sources for any of the stories. This will be read where the author's other books are popular.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-7. Calling this collection a National Enquirer of the spirit world, Cohen presents tales of the celebrity-laden type that could indeed blaze across the headlines of the supermarket tabloids. There are dead Elvis at the grocery store, Rudolph Valentino doomed by a destiny ring, and Elke Sommer saved by a specter in a black jacket. The other chapters incorporate minihistory and literary lessons about alleged hauntings by or of Lincoln's assassins, British monarchs, and American literary figures. Among the most memorable is Mark Twain's premonition of his younger brother's funeral. As usual, Cohen's writing is lively, funny, and accessible. Julie Corsaro

Ghostly encounters with Elvis, George Reeves, and others!,
By
This review is from: The GHOST OF ELVIS (Paperback)
This was an ok book (if you believe these tales) but I picked it up for the chapters on Elvis and TV Superman George Reeves because I am a fan of the two. It was a different type of read is about all I can say about it.
