Please don't let this great book fade into the prairie sunset!

As a college student, and a future teacher, I'd like to pat the author, Lisa Heitz, on the back for a job well done. I own this book and have read the "good parts" over and over.

The story that really sticks out for me is "Hamburger Man." I grew up around the Sand Hills near Hutchinson, KS, the setting of that particular urban legend.

By the time I was ten, thanks to a few too many slumber parties, I was terrified of this homocidal, deformed, and cannibalistic maniac!

Despite my high school boyfriend's urgings, we never found our way to any "lover's lanes" near the Sand Hills. No doubt, my mom and dad would be pleased to know this...

But I didn't know even 1/10 of this eerie tale until I found an entire chapter devoted to the infamous Hamburger Man in this book.

Yes, I prefer to sleep with a night light on...

Because of Haunted Kansas, or in spite of it, I've visited many of the places mentioned in the book. And I intend to visit more of them, as time permits.

This is the one stop guide to Kansas ghosts.

I was born and grew up in Wichita, and now live out in the sticks near Udall. I loved the stories in this book, and I thought the author did a really great job in telling them.
I always looked for stories close by hoping for a chance to investigate them myself. Definitely recommend this for people looking for a really creepy ghost story to get them through the night.

As an annual visitor to Atchison, KS, I purchased this book after I learned a little about the "Haunted History" of Atchison. I loved the book and all of the stories. I love the history that's included and the personal stories. A very fun read.

I love ghost stories, but I found this book to be ok. It was very boring and probably would not buy it again.

This book was a gift for my 30-year old daughter. She said the book is an easy read. It contains a good representation for haunted stories throughout Kansas. Her favorite ones were where there was one main story with other versions that were told through the years. She liked that they weren't bad enough to effect her sleeping except for one about a dog and a pitchfork that she started reading and wouldn't finish. She wished she had read the many stories about Atchison, Kansas, at the end of the book before she went on one of Atchison's Haunted Trolley rides, because the book filled in many holes of the stories told and would have made the tour even more fun.
