Haunted Ohio: Restless Spirits

Haunted Ohio is a book that has many different stories in it. It has some stories that are really scary and some that are just weird. There is this one really cool story about this little girl that sits by her own grave and cry's .And in another story there was an old man that had done something really bad to this girl and had gotten her pregnant and the man had taken the child and hid it from its mother. A few days later the woman died and she is still looking for her child today. I liked this book a lot because of all of the different stories in it so you're not just reading about one thing so it makes the book a little more interesting. One thing that I didn't like about the book was that some of the stories are kind of boring.

Woodyard's fun and just-scary-enough series about true hauntings in the Buckeye state has kept Ohioans entertained for a decade now. These reports on supposedly haunted sites throughout the state combine anecdotal evidence along with results of investigations into the alleged presences. Over the years this series has taken us from Cincinnati's infamously ghost-infested Gothic masterpiece, Music Hall, to the defunct (but still howlingly paranormal) century-old state prison, Dayton's most spirit-filled graveyard (where a boy and his dog are often seen among the dozens of reported spirits) and even the tale of a ghostly wolf often seen in the mountain country of southeast Ohio. This is good stuff! Read it on a breezy October night by candlelight or read it at high noon in July, it works for any occasion!

I have all of the haunted ohio books and I have read every spine tingling page and was totally mezmorized by all of the stories. I love anything scarey and these books are one of my favorite things to read when I i am ready to be be scared

The latest (but hopefully not last!) entry in the Haunted Ohio series is jam packed with the chilling, matter-of-fact ghost stories Chris is known for. From the terrifying prelude (remind me NEVER to stay in the Ft. Magruder Inn in Williamsburg, VA) we move on to "Houses of Horror" (the prelude to "The Hunger" in this chapter makes me think Chris could have a great career as a novelist) and "Haunted Highways" (be sure to watch out for "The Phantom Driver of Old 40") and on to ghostly relatives, animal ghosts and ugly apparitions you'd never want to meet. The tale of Chris's exploration of the old Piqua Hotel is alone worth the price of the book! Plus another fastinating appendix of "Fright Bites." I surely hope there'll be a Haunted Ohio 5!

If you have read any of the other Haunted Ohio books by this author and liked them, you won't be disappointed. Every home in Ohio should have this set on their shelves. This volume has some updates from volume 1, including the Air Force museum. Read it on a dark night...
