Summary: The friendly ghost was scarier
Review: Sorry true haunting ghost story fans out there, this book ain't
IT! Author uses a very dumbing down writing approach, which
makes you feel like a complete idiot for believing this stuff
in the first place. The scariest thing about this book is the
fact that somebody actually printed it. Save your money!

Summary: Entertaining Yet Not Very Compelling
Review: This "field guide" provides and entertaining narrative summary of the strange doings in several of America's reputed most haunted sites. The work is devoid of references to source material from which the tales were gathered though. This fact combined with the sometimes extraordinary claims of activity in well-traveled and known areas makes the book less compelling as a documentary work.Organized into self-contained chapters with handy ratings of the probability of encountering the ghosts of each area should one visit, the book is an entertaining browser.

Summary: Interesting, Informative, and Fun to Read!!!
Review: This book is a well-organized, interesting, breezy read on various aspects of spectral phenomena. Included are haunted houses, ships, aircraft, cemetaries, national parks, and even a golf course. In each case the ghostly history is preceded by location and number of ghosts, suspected identities and demeanor, type of ghostly activity (footsteps, knocking, voices, etc.) and your likelihood of encountering a phantom. Photos enhance the text and the end of each chapter is supplemented with many more haunted areas and brief info on each. The author offers advice on identifying haunted sites and hoaxed hauntings, living with ghosts, and interacting with them. (The best unstated advice is to go no farther than reading about them. Use of tarot cards, ouija boards, seances, auto-writing, and even repetition of chants and spells found in mass-marketed teen witch guides has been known to attract some most undesirable guests! Serious authors who have researched and documented hauntings, etc. make their readers well aware of the dangers and discourage active participation.) To sum up, this book is very entertaining, unique and fresh in its approach, and worthy of five-stars. The mediocre reviews offered by a few readers indicate their inability to appreciate (or perhaps even to recognize) this author's tongue-in-cheek writing style. His comments on headless ghosts, the ghost survey, and some of his tips on dealing with them are obviously meant as repartee. To wit, the book's acknowledgment ends with: "And for helping me through my most desperate dry spell moments, I am deeply indebted to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, whose shows at the Fillmore kept me inspired for months." Happy reading!

Summary: Easy Hunting Guide
Review: This book is formatted to make ghost hunting easy. Not only did I enjoy reading the histories on each of the haunted sites, but I liked the "ratings" of each haunting as well. Maybe I'll visit those places labeled with three or more tombstones! Whether or not you believe in ghosts, it makes for fun and informative reading! Happy Hunting!
