5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written & An Informative Glimpse Into Historic Roswell, November 4, 2009

I purchased my copy at the Roswell Ghost Tour, and after such a wonderful, informative tour, I couldn't wait to read the book. I wasn't disappointed. Roswell: History, Haunts & Legends is insightful and well written.

One can imagine and see the images of the places and people described in the book, and it is a definite bonus to have been on the tour.

Brava, Dianna!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to live in Georgia to love this book!, February 1, 2008

I live in Los Angeles but have been on the Roswell Ghost Tour and now, after reading this book, all I want to do is go back! The thing I love about this book is that Dianna gives you background to the story. A scary story just isn't as scary without a little history. The movie "Psycho" wouldn't be as much fun without the story of the owner of Bates Motel!! This book is not only for those who live in the area. This book is for all lovers of the paranormal! I highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book...., December 3, 2007

My husband and I moved to the Atlanta area just this past May and one of the first things we did was go on the Roswell Ghost Tour with Ponyboy as our guide. Being new to Georgia it was great to hear about some of the history of this very interesting city as well as learn of its paranormal activity. We have been on other ghost tours, but Roswell is our favorite and we plan on going again. When I found out Dianna Avena had written a book on Roswell I eagerly awaited its publication and after reading it, it did not disappoint me. The stories were written in the order of the actual tour. It was well written and gives a good sense of Roswell's history along with the hauntings that so many people have experienced. The pictures were a good supplement to her stories. Whether you have taken the tour or not, this book is very entertaining and informative for all of you "ghost hunters" out there. I thoroughly recommend this book and look forward to more tours and books from Dianna and her crew.
