This review is from: Ghosts of the Garden State (Paperback)

Although this book does not contain in-depth stories, it is an excellent New Jersey ghost guide. There are black and white photos of most of the haunted sites, addresses are provided, and the condensed descriptions of each haunting leaves one with a desire to learn more. I particularly liked the chapter on Cape May's haunted inns.
