5.0 out of 5 stars scary but true, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Watseka: America's most extraordinary case of possession and exorcism (Hardcover)

I lived in watseka for many years.The houses in the book are haunted by the people in the book.I know first hand about the hauntings. The house that I lived in was build on the foundation of the house that was burned in the book. I also knew the people who lived in the other two houses and been in the other two houses in the book. All the houses are still haunted to this day. The house I lived in you could hear glass braking. Door knobs would move and nobody was there. People going up and down the stairs. Many,many other things. In one of the other houses doors open and close. Everyone could be out back and you could come to the front door and knock and someone would tell you to come in. But no one would be in the house. So when you read this book remeber it is true. I lived in that town and my family and I know first hand how true this book is..

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary in every way, June 6, 2002

I live about six miles from Independence Indiana, where the story begins. My wife (departed) grew up in a town just south of Watseka and was very familiar with the story of Mary Roff. She gave me the book in 1982. I believe the story to be true.

This review is from: Watseka: America's most extraordinary case of possession and exorcism (Hardcover)

I read this book many years ago. My dad(deceased) had this book. I read it at least 3 or 4 times and then it was passed to someone else in the family and after the years it got lost. Would love to find it again. It was a wonderful account of the supernatural. It had my full attention from the very start and held it all the way through. I have never been to Watseka, but I do believe in what the book and author told. Wonderful read and would suggest it to anyone interested in the supernatural.
