5.0 out of 5 stars Classic scary reading, August 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 13 Tennessee Ghosts and Jeffrey (Paperback)

I have been reading and re-reading Ms. Windham's books since I was a child, beginning with 13 Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey. That one was fabulous and this one is just as scary. A word of caution - do not read any of the stories right before you go to bed, or be sure to leave a light on if you do! Being a ghost story "purist", as in I tend to only really enjoy those based on eyewitness or earwitness accounts, the stories included in this volume rate right at the top!

This review is from: 13 Tennessee Ghosts and Jeffrey (Paperback)

i read this book about 15 years ago, and it just so happened i live in the same city as a few of them happened{a.k.a. the one about the train and the little girl entitled "Stains on the Masoleum"}.i can tell you the photoi was not in ANY way doctored, those stains are there to this very day, and it is an extremely creepy and at the same odd time, peaceful, place to walk past, or shall i say, run past, cause the first time i read the story then walked by the masoleum, i didnt exactly set up camp there. a very good, amazingly detailed book.
