Hans Holzer tells you where the ghosts are... just in case you might want to go out and socialize with the discarnate. Not all of the places are easy to explore, and my favorite haunted vacation get-away isn't listed, but he only lists those sights that he has verified as being the subject of unusual phenomena. Also, it covers the whole USA, Canada, and England.. so not everything can be local, but most states have places listed. I'm planning to visit at least two of the sights on my next road trip. In all, its a good reference book for those who wish to track down and photograph some ghosts, or those who just want the hair on the back of their necks to stand up during their next trip.

I have always wanted to go on a trip and base where I went on haunted houses and other various places that had some sort of haunting attaced to it. This book has been a guide on the trip that I have set up and plan to take this summer. Very in-depth and detailed.

Probably the worst book I've ever purchased on the Supernatural.
To say that the information on the ghosts themselves is brief would be an understatement.
If I just want to get directions to a place I'll buy an atlas.
Save your money.
