Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The authors have expanded their repertoire of true ghost stories previously published in Haunted Wisconsin (Stanton & Lee, 1980) and Haunted Heartland (Stanton & Lee, 1985). This collection of chilling tales of the supernatural includes at least one story from each state and from the English-speaking Canadian prov-inces. The stories recount sightings of ghostly apparitions and mysterious happenings, and their history and evolution is documented. To enhance the true-story appeal, newspaper accounts and other sources of information are given in the bibliography. Full of eerie specters and haunted houses, including the White House, this book will captivate readers of all ages. An excellent source of spine-tingling narratives for Halloween night or spooky campfire fun. For general collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for anyone who loves horror stories!, November 9, 1999
By Robert McCarley "corrob" (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
If one story doesn't get your blood pumping then the next will! A book that you start reading and you cannot put down till you reach the end. It is created from a combination of actual events that have happened, or still is happening, and the legend behind the events that is researched from whatever documentation that could be found. By the end of the book you will be on the edge of your seat if not from the first story. It is very well written and entertaining for the horror lover that wants to get as close to fear as one can without actually witnessing the event. A great book to read for entertainment and will certainly make you think when you hear noises at night!

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL, HORRIFIC COLLECTION OF STORIES, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
"Haunted America" is a brilliant collection spine-tingling supposedly true ghost stories from all the corners of America. The best are the music room in Illinois and the mansion straight from the depths of hell in New Orleans. If you want a good scare read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book!, April 22, 2004
By judith (Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
I am almost done reading "Haunted America". What I most appreciate was the extensive researches both the authors have done regarding this book.

The stories are engrossing and when you go to the last pages, you can find a bibliography in which you can find all the sites, pieces of journals, références, etc, about the researches done concerning the hauntings.

And, for me, this book was also very educational regarding the History of various places in U.S and Canada.

Yes, I read it at night and, not being particularly scared usually, I must admit I did 'Jumped' at times when hearing noises in the house. :)

I also like the fact that this book contains over 500 pages and deliver the reader with hours of enjoyement.

(I want to apologize for my autograph, 'french speaking', sorry for any mistake).

2.0 out of 5 stars let down
I liked the book but I guess I was expecting more of a spine- tingling experience. I wanted to get scared while reading and that definitely did not happen. Entertaining though.
