4.0 out of 5 stars It's Hard to Read Just One, July 26, 2006

This review is from: The Wisconsin Road Guide to Haunted Locations (Paperback)

I picked this book up while on a road trip. The entries are short, concise, and tell you what's been seen, a short blurb on the history of the place, and what if anything the authors found upon "investigation" of the site. Each site includes a photo and driving directions so the reader can find the site and check it out. It's not too in-depth, which is nice because it doesn't get boring. The authors have found some unique places which will provide spooky vigils for those so inclined.

After I bought this book, I enjoyed paging through it so much that I went out and bought their other titles for other states. My only critique of this book is the sloppy editing, there are numerous typos. Whoever edited this should be fired. The sloppy editing does take away a little from the credibility of the book, but it's a light-hearted treatment so I guess it's not to be taken too seriously. Overall the book is a good primer for one aspect of local folklore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Local Folklore Must-Have, July 2, 2008

This review is from: The Wisconsin Road Guide to Haunted Locations (Paperback)

This book is probably one of the better volumes of Wisconsin haunted locations, the authors looked for locations that any beginner paranormal investigator could reach without getting into too much trouble and got the legends, the real history and performed their own brief investigation. Ok, so usually they didn't have much to show for their nights out, but there was some interesting debunking just the same. If you're interested in paranormal investigation, are a thrill-seeking ghost hunter or are just a junkie for local folklore in lovely Wisconsin, this is a title you need on your shelf (next to other books, of course... this is hardly a complete compendium.)

This book was very helpful, as i went ghost hunting and most of the places that i went to where in the book, i was a little disappointed that some of the places that i read about on the internet where not listed. But all in all, i was pleased.
