I can't believe I wasted my time reading this. I felt as if I were reading a childrens book. No history, no accounts of other people, just her cutesy monolog about "little bitty things that go bump in the twilight". NOT at all scary or historic. I would have settled for accurate but not even close. I couldn't even overlook how bad it was and just take down what was haunted because there was absolutely nothing there. I put the book in my bathroom where it has the slightest chance of doing some good. It's so embarrassing when one has guests and runs out of toliet paper.

This book was excellent. Talk about a reality check. It makes you test your knowledge of ghosts & spirits & it makes you wonder if all these "stories" do exist. I had goosebumps the whole time and I was scared to go to sleep.. If you want a ggod scare with a sense of reality, read this book!!!!
