A Ghosthunter's Guide: To Haunted Landmarks, Parks, Churches, and Other Public Places

As with his two previous books (The Ghostly Gazeteer and The Ghostly Register), the intention of A Ghost Hunter's Guide is not meant to scare (though many of the tales are spooky) but to serve as a sort of Mobil Traveller's Guide to haunted places.Unlike other books on the subject that are most often written by self proclaimed ghost hunters, psychics or parapsychologists, Arthur Myers is a seasoned reporter who admits to never having seen a ghost. He does, however, believe in the sincerity of the people he has interviewed and included in his book. He follows the leads, reports on what he finds and present the information in a manner that is useful to the reader.The book is broken down alphabetically by state and each section provides such information as the haunt's location, how to get there, the history of the location, when to see the ghost and if the location is still haunted.It's a fun and often interesting read. You may discover that the quiet, unassumi! ! ng building just down the street from your home may be haunted...

The author submits some simple pictures of areas of the haunts. He, then also interviews others who have experienced the supernatural. Gives an analysis of the ghosts and when the best time to witness the spirits. Indicates if location is still visited by the dead. Gives you the history of the location and of the deceased. Will hold your interest. More of a reference book than a "scary" one
