Throw another log on the fire, sit back, and enjoy.,
By Dennis Phillips "The Book Friar" (Bulls Gap, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Ghostly American Places (Hardcover)
For a book of ghost stories to be worth its weight in salt it has to start out with a good writer. One who weaves his stories so as to draw the reader into the ghostly realm. Arthur Myers is up to this task and his writing style is very pleasing. In this book the reader will find well documented ghost sightings that come to us from all over the United States. One finds in the pages of this book weeping portraits, poltergeists, and a New York ghost who plays Mozart. In an interesting departure from the norm in this type of book Mr. Myers divides each chapter up into catagories. First, there is simply enough the location and description of the haunt. Next one finds a history of the the place in question including a worldly history and the history of the manifestations. Near the conclusion of the chapter Myers attempts to identify the spirit and its personality. I guess ghosts have personalities. Finally he tells us if the place is still haunted, the best time to experence the haunt, who the witnesses have been, who submitted the story to him, and if there has been a formal psychic investigation. The ghostly manifestations section will often send a distinct chill up the readers spine. At least in my case it did. If you love this type of book or if you are just looking for something to read in front of the fire on a cool October night this book would be a good choice.

Arthur Myers, if you read this our little town is full of ghosts. Historic New Castle, DE is where we're located and if your ever in the area it's definitely worth a stop!!! I am a huge "fan" of ghosts and even though I've never seen one I do believe they exist.
