Ghost Stories of Minnesota

Rating:
Summary: I love a ghost story
Review: I love ghost stories, especially those which people actually believe happened. Ms Teel is no Hans Holzer, but she does tell a good tale, and these have the great good fortune of all being set in my home state of Minnesota. While some of them were already familiar to me--most notably the haunt of the Guthrie Theater--many were new. The narrative style is that of short vignettes arranged in chapters by subject: haunted houses, people, theaters, and restaurants, and mysterious phenomenon. One can carry the book with one as good "waiting" material, because the subject is interesting enough to keep one entertained, and the stories are short enough to set the book aside when the wait is over without feeling "interrupted." I took it with me to a doctor's appointment; it made me a very patient patient!
