Nantucket Hauntings

Rating:
Summary: Creepy, scary and unsettlingly plausable
Review: I made the mistake of reading this book while staying in Nantucket in a 200 year-old house. Reading about the hauntings (one of which occured in the house next to where I was staying) got my mind over-active. A guitar in the hallway would inexpicably "ping". One door refused to stay shut -- even though the unlevel floor would have made it more likely for it to remain closed. Oh yes, I suffered during that week. Running up the stairs at night to seclude myself in the bedroom. Did this book make me believe? I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks.

Rating:
Summary: The second best book I have ever read.
Review: Seriously, this is the extremely well written sequel to "The Ghosts of Nantucket." It continues, from the point of view of oral history, interviews with year-round and summer residents of Nantucket Island who have actually experienced ghosts. These are unembellished accounts from some rather unlikely and credible sources.
