Nice

awesome book

i think both books are very good to read because they give you some good insight about real place's that are said to be haunted.I think the reader will enjoy this one or both books because not only will they get caught up in the book but might want to go visit to the place they are reading about.I definitley recommend all of the books.I love all ghost books,they rock!!!!! they get a big 2 thumb's up from me!!!!!!!

Read with the lights on and in the company of others!!!

Written by Beth Scott and Michael Norman who also wrote Haunted Heartland, and Haunted America, HIstoric Haunted America documented, state by state, and a special section on Canada, alledged true ghostly hauntings.Like their two previous ghostly efforts, Historic Haunted America described in more details than you'd like, the hauntings in question, and the stories behind it. Some are poignant, but most others are terrifying...with tales of curses, murder, revenge and lost souls.The most interesting chapter is the one on Hawaii, where the legendary volanic goddess Pele is featured.I read this book in my bed one night and was so creep out by it that I jumped at every small noise and nearly went into a panic attack when the phone rang.This book is not for the squeamish.

Fantastic!!!

This is one of the best collections of real life ghost stories that I have ever read. The haunting entitled, "Night of Horrors" sent chills down my spine!! If you like reading about real life ghost stories, then I highly suggest this book. There are also 2 more books by the same authors. Just don't read these in the dark because when the lights go off....the rules change.....

Despite some dull areas, overall, a great book.

This book offers an exciting look into an unknown world. With at least one, if not a few stories from each state and province in the US and Canada, you are bound to read about something close to home. Some stories are not about strange happenings and mysterious people, but about lost loves and broken hearts. I thought some were a little boring, and was tempted to skip to something more interesting. Some 'claimed' haunted houses discussed in the book are open to the public. Included with some stories is very general information on visiting them. I learned about Hampton House in Maryland through Historic Haunted America and visited it. The National Parks Service now maintains it. The government denied and stories of hauntings there. Overall, an excellent book and I can wait to read Haunted America and Haunted Heartland.
