5.0 out of 5 stars Scary But Enthralling, August 2, 2000

By

This review is from: Haunted Lancaster County, Pennsylvania : Ghosts and Other Strange Occurrences (Paperback)

I've read one of her other books, Living With Ghosts, and decided this one would be next since I visit Lancaster County often. I loved this as much as the other. My husband and I visited some of the sites she writes about. After reading about these places, visiting them was downright scary! You will not be disappointed in any of her books and will fall in love with her style and her natural ability to present such stories. I'm hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary but not Horror, July 20, 2000

This review is from: Haunted Lancaster County, Pennsylvania : Ghosts and Other Strange Occurrences (Paperback)

This book is excellent. I was impressed with the author's ability to present the facts and accounts from an objective viewpoint. The stories are interesting, but not horrifying. I lost sleep while reading it, not just because of the fact my overactive imagination got the better of me; but also because I totally lost track of time! It would recommend this book to readers of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fact Better Than Fiction, August 3, 2000

Troy Reppert (Shillington, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Haunted Lancaster County, Pennsylvania : Ghosts and Other Strange Occurrences (Paperback)

This was an excellent book, very interesting, and easy reading. It held you attention, I didn't want to stop till I was all the way through the book. It's reminiscent of your younger days telling ghost stories around a campfire. The author stays objective when telling the stories. She gives only the facts that she can substantiate, as well as tells you what she can't prove. The stories are true accounts of supernatural happenings, not embellished, she takes no dramatic license. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially those with some interest in real supernatural events.
