Great Minnesota Ghosts

This is the kind of book I like to read in October! It's a compendium of true first-person accounts of ghosts in various Minnesota locations. The stories are based on the author's interviews with the witnesses and many of the accounts are new material. I particularly enjoyed the story about the Lutefisk ghost. The chapters have a good balance of detail and narrative, and the pace keeps one's interest, which places this book a level above the usual ghost story anthologies. I highly recommend.
