5.0 out of 5 stars The second best book I have ever read., July 16, 1998

This review is from: Nantucket Hauntings: 21 Firsthand Encounters with the Supernatural (Paperback)

Seriously, this is the extremely well written sequel to "The Ghosts of Nantucket." It continues, from the point of view of oral history, interviews with year-round and summer residents of Nantucket Island who have actually experienced ghosts. These are unembellished accounts from some rather unlikely and credible sources.

This review is from: Nantucket Hauntings: 21 Firsthand Encounters with the Supernatural (Paperback)

I made the mistake of reading this book while staying in Nantucket in a 200 year-old house. Reading about the hauntings (one of which occured in the house next to where I was staying) got my mind over-active. A guitar in the hallway would inexpicably "ping". One door refused to stay shut -- even though the unlevel floor would have made it more likely for it to remain closed. Oh yes, I suffered during that week. Running up the stairs at night to seclude myself in the bedroom. Did this book make me believe? I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks.
