This book is mainly a collection of folklore rather than an attempt at scientific documentation of ghosts. The stories are related in a "storytelling" style intended to entertain more than inform, with lots of embellished detail bordering on fiction.

I found some of the stories mildly interesting, although overall the book was a slow read for me and I kinda forced myself to finish it.

Little (if anything) new or original, much less personally investigated by the author here, from what I could tell. Of course, I didn't read past the first few chapters because I was so disappointed in this book. Anybody with access to a libray of old ghost stories and legends could have churned it out. Don't waste your money. I hate to rate any book this low, but I feel this one is nothing but an attempt to separate people who collect ghost books from their money.

What a disappointment. I wonder if the majority of "Haunted Homeland" stories were rejects from the earlier books research?

The book is interesting and scary in places. Would recommend this book for entertainment. Thank you.

A poor excuse of haunted works designed mainly to confuse the reader. This book attempts to take folklore and legend and connected it to actual hauntings. There is no bona fide research done, unless you call speculation research. I'm really surprised the publisher conceded to label the book non-fiction. I have studied and read several books connected to paranormal research and experience, and this book falls way shy of delivering what the title professes. Save your money for a real paranormal research book!

Its a road map to the other side. Take a left at the Cemetery. Go Down Highway 666 until you hit a dead end. Then your there. Haunted Homeland Is a Very Good Read. I have read all of Michael Norman's Books, and I must say he is the best in this field of study.
