I loved this book. This book contained stories that my Grandfather told me when I was a little girl. It was also cool that several of the stories took place in my home town of Hyden, Kentucky. I would recommend this book to anyone who lives in Kentucky or just likes ghost stories.

Published in 1996 as a follow-up to "Tragedy at Devil's Hollow and Other Kentucky Ghost Stories," this volume of macabre delights is perhaps even better than its predecessor, and almost certainly scarier. There seems to be no end to the supernatural history of Kentucky life, nor to peoples' curiosity about it. Michael Paul Henson has done Kentuckians and folklorists all across the nation a great service in compiling these dark, engaging tales. Ghosts, goblins, ghouls and witches all come to life inside this book, and once you've read it you may never look at Kentucky in quite the same way. Highly recommended.

This book left you wanting to read more about Kentucky Ghosts. I always hear about the Bell Witch because she is only 30 miles away, but to hear true Kentucky Ghost stories just makes your skin crawl. I have even tried to locate the farm where the money is still buried. I believe there is a force out there, whether it be ghosts, goblins, or witches there is something out there. For those who do not believe in the supernatural just read this book and it will make you think twice.

When I first read this book I couldn;t believe that all of this had happend all in Kentucky. There was one story about a witches grave that intrested me so much that my boyfriend and I are looking for the exact cemetery that she was buried in, in Pulaski county Kentucky. I was a good book, and I think anyone who is interested in gohst stories and lives in Kentucky ought to buy this book! It was just so good.

I just want to say that even though my ghost library is limited to "TRUE" ghost stories, these fit the bill pretty well. This may be my favorite among an extensive collection. I just read it again, and as usual, I was depressed when I finished and immediately got on line to order his other books. These are just the right amount of believable and traditional, just the right length and in short, just right. Jo ann kuhn
