Ok, book tends more towards urban legends than it does ghost stories or haunted houses. Features stories that take place in various states in the US and parts of Canada. Goes through the states in alphabetical order. Appears it may be geared towards a YA age reading group as opposed to adults, but still ok overall. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book takes you on a state-by-state tour of haunted places in America and Canada.
Instead of just presenting fact after fact in a boring outline sort of fashion, this book gives a definitive narrative in each chapter and on each subject it covers. I think I like that the most about this book. It tells the ghost stories as exactly that, stories. And it tells them in a way that I feel they were meant to be told.
This book really sheds a light on some of our most haunted places here in the United States and even has a bonus section of a few areas in Canada. It tells you the background information on why they are deemed to be haunted and true first witness accounts of people that have actually seen the hauntings in these places. Be forewarned, this book does not leave out many details and some of them are rather gruesome.
Dates and records are included in this book but again they are not written about in a boring way. They are very cleverly interweaved into the narrative. Very well done.
Suggestion: read this book along with a map of the United States so that you can pinpoint each location you would like to visit and see for yourself. 😉
I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who's looking for good haunts across America and Canada, or to anybody who would like to know a little more history about our country and the ghosts that remain here. 👻 ( )
