Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These are some of the most compelling true ghost stories from North America. While some of the ghosts written about here have settled down or moved on, many of them are still active. While not exactly terrifying, these tales are fascinating in the fact that they are all true, backed up with eyewitness testimony. If you prefer a book which you can use as a reference source rather than a caffeine substitute, this is one you should pick up.
From Library Journal
Perfect Halloween reading, this fourth and final companion volume (to Haunted Wisconsin, Stanton & Lee, 1980; Haunted Heartland, Stanton & Lee, 1985; and Haunted America, LJ 11/1/94) is the culmination of 18 years of research and journalistic collaboration by the authors. Having traversed the United States and Canada to garner eyewitness accounts of ghostly sightings and habitats, the authors present yet another all-new assortment of earthly visitations by restless spirits of bygone eras residing in such common locales as homes, theaters, plantations, open fields, schools, and railroad cars. Be they old generals, soldiers, nursemaids, children, lovers, moonshiners, former employees, mental patients, murder victims, former residents, or servants, each has a tale to tell, things to do, people to guard, and places to watch over. Although some tales seem plausible, others are more difficult to believe, and still others too haunting to be real, all have been thoroughly researched; none is the result of the authors' overactive imaginations. Mesmerizing, spine-tingling?and not to be missed by any folklore collection.?Ann E. Cohen, Rochester P.L., N.Y.
