I’ve been sitting here staring at my keyboard for 10 minutes trying to decide what to say about this one. LOL

Here’s the thing, this book is being promoted as “true stories”. Is it non-fiction? No one can say for sure. What I can tell you is this:

This book is super short, and you can read it in one sitting. I think I read it in like an hour or so. It is tiny.
This book is a collection of short stories. There are 9, I believe. “True accounts” of ghost encounters in Madison County, New York.
Now, did I like it? Or, will YOU like it?

I didn’t NOT like it. I thought it was a fine really quick read. It was not scary at all though. It was ghost stories. Like the ones you would tell around a campfire. “Ten years ago, old so-and-so knew this guy… and he told me that late one dark and rainy night…” type of deal. I was really looking for some scary, and this book just was not that. I didn’t NOT like it though. So will you like it? Depends, I think, on how you go about reading it. You know, I love that Ghost Adventures show and Ghost Hunters. This book was just like that. People encountering ghosts. So if you go into it wanting that type of thing – ghost stories but not “scary”… I think you will enjoy it.

In Conclusion:

This would be a good read for one of those nights where you just want something you can finish in one night and just a little eery.

This is a very interesting book. Teresa Andrews tells actual accounts of unexplained supernatural situations. Taken from told directly to her, they are amazing and chilling.

In this book, she has compiled the most compelling stories told to her. Some are frightening, such as a poltergeist, while others are considered harmless as in a little girl playing hide and seek. Some seem to be going on with business as usual, as in a handyman's story.

This little book will make you keep a little light on, even after you close the book. ( )

This is a collection of true accounts of ghostly encounters in Madison County, New York. Madison County is located in central New York State - east of Syracuse, north of Binghamton and slightly north of due west from Albany. Whether it is a malevolent poltergeist, a mischievous little girl playing hide and seek, or a gardener simply going about his business, the lost souls that wander through Madison County remain unseen until one day, or night as the case may be, they decide to make themselves known to the living. Whatever the case, you may be sure that when you turn out your light tonight and cuddle into bed, you won't be the only one in your room - even if it looks as if you are alone.

I must say that while I don't consider myself extremely open to the paranormal, I certainly do believe that the paranormal exists. I have even had at least two experiences that I couldn't explain to myself through earthly means. When I was about nine or ten years old, my family and I were living in a town in Manchester known as Pendlebury, about three miles northwest of Salford, England. Pendlebury is perhaps better well-known historically for the Trials of the Pendle Witches - which occurred in 1612, and are among the most famous witch trials in English history.

So, my family and I lived in a centuries-old house that my mother was completely convinced was haunted. I had never really had any paranormal experiences myself in that house until I was ten years old. It was early on a Saturday morning and I was 'sleeping in', but was actually reading in my bed. Everything was quiet in the house and for some reason I looked up at my open bedroom door. A second or so later, a ghostly man just popped his head inside my door! :)

He and I locked surprised glances with each other for about three seconds and then he vanished and I went back to reading my book. He was dressed in 17th-century clothing (although at ten years old, it just registered as old-fashioned clothing to me): wearing a cutaway coat and a monocle, I'm sure that he was fully dressed, however I can't remember what he was wearing in the style of breeches, trousers or whatever it was. I remember my mother constantly questioning me about this apparition when I mentioned that I had seen him sometime later that day.

As I have said already, I don't completely deny the existence of the paranormal and have had one other strange experience that I couldn't explain, happen to me as an adult - the jukebox at my restaurant suddenly turned on by itself. It was closing time and no one else was in the bar area except myself at the time. I have to say that I was totally terrified, and felt that there was a presence there that would harm me if I stayed any longer.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well-written, and easy reading for me and I must say a big thank you to Teresa for sending me a copy of her book to read. I give this book a big, blazing A+! and would definitely recommend this book to other readers. ( )
