Book Description

October 1, 1991

In this book you'll meet the vengeful spirit of an Indian who wanted his skull back, a haunted antique party dress, a ghostly poisoner doomed to her own private hell, Thomas Edison and his machine to talk to the dead, the long-dead actress who still takes curtain calls, the headless motorcyclist of the Great Black Swamp.

There are tales as old as Native American ghostlore, as new as the one about a haunted airplane. There are stories about haunted presidents and haunted swimming pools. There are tales of the dead and famous and of the faceless dead. Visit that altered state of consciousness--Haunted Ohio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and Thrilling ..., September 10, 2007
This review is from: Haunted Ohio: Ghostly Tales from the Buckeye State (Buckeye Haunts) (Paperback)
During a recent camping trip, we found this book and three others (the fifth one is in hardback and we decided to wait till it was in paperback) at the state park visitor center. My parents have the series and my nieces and nephew absolutely love these books ~~ they would beg my dad to read it to them. So we thought we would introduce a new tradition for our boys. There was a small problem though ~~ the stories in here are just a little bit too advanced for five year olds' comprehension.

But it's perfect for me. I couldn't read it at night though as the stories were spooky. And I had to walk to the bathroom in the dark with only a flashlight to protect me. (The nights before I read this book, I was more worried about bears. After reading this book, I am now more worried about spooks!)

The stories in here are about familiar history pieces that I've heard over the years. I've been to lots of these towns and never realized that they had haunts of their own. I am a skeptic about ghosts since I have never seen one. But the stories in here are thrilling, sad, spooky and sometimes, just plain weird. Some of my favorites are: The Ghostly Girl of Woodland Cemetery (that cemetery is absolutely beautiful ~~ makes me want to go back and see it!); all of the ghost stories of the Victoria Theatre in Dayton (I used to be an usher there and never heard the stories till now); Julia Grant's stories and so on.

This book is a combination of stories and historical bits all tied in together. It is a compilation of stories (and not all that well-written in some cases as I had to re-read several stories again to make sure that I understood them correctly) that Ms. Woodyard collected over the years. These stories are perfect to read over the campfire at night ...

Just be sure to carry a heavy flashlight when you go out for a nightly walk to the bathroom ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, August 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Haunted Ohio: Ghostly Tales from the Buckeye State (Buckeye Haunts) (Paperback)
Really interesting reading, especially if you live in Ohio. Everyone loves a good ghost story, and the realism in Ms. Woodyards books makes them especially scary. It's fascinating to read about current "hauntings", not fiction or urban legends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to earth and and chilling., August 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Haunted Ohio: Ghostly Tales from the Buckeye State (Buckeye Haunts) (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of these books. My friends and I pass them around and have often visited many of these sites ourselves. The most appealing thing about these books are the realistic way in which they are portrayed. Some other books that deal with the same type of ghostly phenomenon tend to dwelve too much into what the author thinks the people in the past were thinking or saying, basically making the whole event into a stage play. Ms. Woodyard simply states the facts in a realistic, yet, entertaining way without too much mush getting into the way of the story. In short, she does not take away from the haunting by making most of the stories into a romance novel.
