From the Back Cover
True Ghost Stories of Lancaster County Pennsylvania is a fascinating collection of true accounts of ghosts and other mysteries in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
An area once roamed by Indians and highwaymen, it was our nation's first wild and wooly west. Her people have survived a colorful past of hardship, massacres, epidemics, war, and disaster to emerge a gem nestled along the shores of a winding ribbon of water known as the mighty Susquehanna.
Accounts of hauntings, mysteries, and superstitions are many, but until now, very few have ever been recorded on paper...
...a ghostly Victorian "dandy" paces the brick sidewalks of sleepy Marietta.
...the cellar of a Columbia home has a ghostly artist.
...getting a good night's sleep in the hospital might not be as easy as one thinks.
...Three Mile Island, the site of the worst nuclear disaster in US history, has been plagued with misfortune, death and destruction since the days of William Penn. A tale stranger than fiction.
... an unforgettable tour of Wheatland, home of James Buchanan, fifteenth president of the United States.

Now, I was having a bad hair day...but that certainly didn't explain the blood curdling screams that echoed through Wheatland at that moment. I froze as I came face to face with two men and one woman, faces contorted with screams, as a second screaming woman, arms flailing in the air, headed downstairs. The one on the run, at the first curve, suddenly remembered her abandoned friends, and stopped, white-knuckled on the rail...

Reality Frights,
By Troy Reppert (Shillington, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: True Ghost Stories of Lancaster County Pennsylvania (Paperback)
I have read most of the writers other books as well as this, and let me say that she adds such reality to her books. Each story is written from actual accounts from the people that have had the experiences, or have been researched to the validity of the story. She tells it with such clarity that you can almost see the images. You can feel the hair on the back of your neck start to perk up. But just when you're feeling your nerves at the end of one story she throws a light little comment at you to calm you enough to get ready for the next story. This truly is wonderfully written you'll enjoy every minute of it

true ghost stories of lancaster county,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: True Ghost Stories of Lancaster County Pennsylvania (Paperback)
i read the previous reviews, got the book, etc. I'd call this 'light true ....".. There are few 'real' ghost stories, and unnecessary time was spent on questionable parts, like Three Mile Island. At sixty some pages, I wondered, is this all? The places are bewildering to out siders like me but the map helps. Author has a light style and makes easy reading. There are far better ghost books out there, search! Even if they aren't under 7 bucks.
