5.0 out of 5 stars Matter-of-fact tone makes it all the more real--and creepy, March 2, 2009

This review is from: The Little Girl In The Window: A True Ghost Story (Paperback)

This was an amazing book. It caught my attention right away and kept me reading long into the night so I could finish it. What separates this from most "ghost stories" is that it is written in a very matter-of-fact style by someone who is not a fiction writer. Some people I lent this to thought it should have had a more dramatic tone, but it's the clear absence of made-up drama that makes it so compelling. And, might I add, creepy! This author went to great pains to document everything meticulously over many years, and carefully explored all possible explanations for the unusual things he encountered or was told about. He left no doubt in my mind that every incident happened just as he described it. I visited the haunted church where this book takes place and although I am oblivious to anything ghostly, I definitely felt an uneasiness that would have turned to panic if I had been there alone. Or worse, alone at night! Whether or not you believe in ghosts, I think you'll find this story as fascinating as I did. But I wouldn't recommend reading it when you're alone late at night, as I did. Big mistake.
