Haunted Ohio II: More Ghostly Tales from the Buckeye State

Rating:
Summary: A well written book on Ohio's ghostly history
Review: 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.

Summary: Haunted Author Equals Haunted Readers
Review: Chris Woodyard always has such intriguing introductions to her books. In Haunted Ohio she talked about second sight running in her family. Now in the II volume she talks about being haunted herself as she collected the stories and about readers she's met and their experiences after reading her first book. I think she should write an entire book of these stories alone.

In the chapter Things That Go Bump in the Night, she explores the poltergeist phenomenon. Woodyard says, "Poltergeists rarely produce apparitions or a spirit with "personality." It's been my experience that a noisy apparition is a ghost not a poltergeist so I disagree with that statement especially since other spirits can become attracted to the released energy.

Many of the places the author went to personally and records her impressions along with those of her interview subject. I found this book as scary and well written as Woodyard's last. I label Haunted Ohio II a spook-tacular read!

Summary: I loved it! It should be required reading for all Ohioans!!
Review: 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!!!

Summary: Do you want to read something REALLY scary?
Review: 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!
