3.0 out of 5 stars Great ghost stories, but poorly edited!, October 21, 2002

By	Curt Rowlett - See all my reviews

On the plus side, this book was unique, highly interesting, well researched, and very scary! The author has assembled a large collection of very frightening episodes of hauntings that take place in spooky old graveyards all across America. As an avid reader of true ghost stories, I was impressed with the fact that Mr. Taylor had included so many stories in this book that I had never heard of before and for me, that is always a plus.

On the negative side, this book would have received a much higher rating from me if it had not been so badly edited! Someone did an extremely poor job of proof reading and editing prior to allowing the book to be published, a fact that I personally find to be very irritating. (I found a large amount of typos and misprints, starting with the introduction and all the way through to the end of the book). Hopefully this will be remedied in future editions of what could have been an almost perfect read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much history.. not enough ghost info.. BAD editing, January 28, 2006

By	R. Kells "ladyjanekk" (cANADA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has got to Be the most annoying book to read.. there is at least one error in spelling or the way a sentence is written on EACH page. Makes the flow of reading very difficult.

I am half way through this and am bored. WAY TOO MUCH historical facts and not even close to nearly enough about the actual haunting. Most stories go for 2-3 pages of history then ONE PARAGRAPH with maybe two sentences about the haunting.

NOT worth reading. I gave it a 2 simply for interesting pictures.
