Review
"...eerie and enchanting." -- bookclub@ket, October 2006
"Dominé's book is a well-deserved and long-needed addition to the storied history of...the country's most remarkable Victorian neighborhood." -- The Courier-Journal, June 26, 2005
"His beautiful writing, rich with architectural knowledge and crisp details, sends the reader far back into the Victorian era..." -- Louisville Eccentric Observer, October 26, 2005
"[His] time-consuming detective work pays off handsomely..." -- Janet Brennan, Mysteries Magazine, Issue 12
...well written and interesting book about a unique neighborhood." -- Haunted Travels, October 31, 2005
Product Description
The most haunted neighborhood in America? With more than 45 square blocks of wonderful hundred-year-old mansions and charming town homes, Old Louisville counts as the largest Victorian neighborhood in the nation. Given that there are more than 1,000 structures in all where generations of families have lived, loved and died, it is not surprising that there might be a ghost or two knocking about in this acclaimed National Register Historic Preservation District. So many so, in fact, that Old Louisville has also gained the reputation as being the most haunted neighborhood in the country. David Dominé found this out for himself when he purchased a lovely 1895 chateauesque mansion on Old Louisville's famed Millionaire's Row in 1999. A self-proclaimed skeptic, he dismissed rumors of a mischievous resident poltergeist named Lucy when he moved in, but he soon found himself at a loss to explain the disembodied footsteps, mysterious odors and paranormal activity that plagued the old home. Even after unnerving events caused him to flee the home in the middle of the night, Dominé tried to come up with rational explanations for the strange occurrences. Gradually, however, he came to accept the possibility of supernatural phenomena and began to dig into the past of the old home known by locals as the Moorish Palace. He eventually came up with a theory as to who or what might be haunting the property, and in the process he was able to uncover a wealth of fascinating history and ghostly tales about his historic neighborhood. Ghosts of Old Louisville: True Stories of Hauntings in America's Largest Victorian Neighborhood chronicles the harrowing events in his own home and discusses the haunted past of other significant structures in the neighborhood. Rich with interesting historical tidbits and vivid architectural descriptions that bring the opulent mansions and charming homes to life, Dominé creates an enchanting mood piece as a backdrop for his tales of the paranormal in this unique American neighborhood.
