Editorial Reviews

Review

Ohio has a ghost hunter and writer of the first magnitude in Chris Woodyard. Her chilling tales will keep even the bravest reader checking to see that doors and windows are securely locked. Several of the stories, such as 'The House of Hate' are as compelling as any Stephen King novel. Here's a gem of a book to thrill anyone who enjoys a good scare. And that includes us --Beth Scott and Michael Norman, authors of Haunted Heartland, Haunted Historic America, Haunted Heritage

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you want to read something REALLY scary?, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

If you like true ghost stories, you can't miss this book! All of the Haunted Ohio series are great, but this one is my favorite. Chilling stuff like a haunted covered-over swimming pool at Stivers Middle School (gulp!), the many ghosts of Dayton's USAF museum, and a strange drum with something rustling inside (sure, it sounds harmless enough, but wait till you read the story). Plus time warps, poltergiests and just about any type of haunted building you can think of! Not to mention some great stories of unknown creatures. I usually don't find bigfoot stories very scary, but two in this book -- "Buckeye Bigfoots" and "Bigfoot in Greene County"-- really gave me a major case of the willies! And if you can sleep after reading the "Harmful Haunts" chapter ... well, you've either got ice water in your veins or else (gasp!) you're already a ghost yourself! Buy this book today -- you're guaranteed to lose some sleep!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it! It should be required reading for all Ohioans!!, April 25, 1999

By A Customer

I love to read books. As soon as I am done with one, I have to get another, and I had been eyeing Haunted Ohio in the bookstore at the mall, and my curiosity got the better of me. And I am glad it did! I loved the book! It really struck home with me. It also put a fright into me! I found that I could only read it during the daylight hours, or I would lose some sleep!! The book was wonderful, and my mother thought so to, she called me everyday to see if I was done reading it so that she could borrow it! And now that she is half-way through, she calls asking if I bought the next one yet because she wants to borrow that one too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written book on Ohio's ghostly history, November 22, 1998

By A Customer

Chris put a lot of hard work in to this book (as well as her others, I know because I know her personally. And the result of her hard work is a well written, entertaining book, that has brought her success. I suggest that everyone buy it - it's great for around the camp fire, or those long road trips, or when you just want a nice book to read at night.
