A true Ghost story

This book is very good and will give you the creeps! I do believe this story to be true. I saw the movie on tv and patty Duke did a great job playing Jean Williams. This is a story about houses built over a graveyard but the people that bought these houses did not know it at the time. A lot of very scary things happen to them. I read this book over the weekend and could not put it down. anyone that wants to read a true ghost story this is it. A very good read.the movie is called Grave Secrets and it is very good also!

I live in Crosby, TX and know a little about this

The tales are true. poppets way is actually one of the highest spots in the subdivision throughout this district and the black slaves from the cotton plantation in barrett were buried where the "poltergeist house" actually sits. families usually tend to stay there from 6 months to a couple of years and leave becuase of the tales and things theyve experienced while living there. the house is up for sale right now actually. the house next to them dug a underground pool and actually found bones of human skeletons. i recently went to the water plant right next to these houses and there are 8'x3' depressions in the ground where the old graves have sank throughout the years. they have been filled up and have sank time and time again. no lights stay on out there becuase they always burn out. this creepy feeling just comes to me when i see go to the fence. this stuff is true so if u really want to know more about this grab the book and watch house on hauting lane or just ask movie store about the movie made on the newport subdivision in newport.

My grandparents lived in this neighborhood

I have not read the book yet, but I'm planning on it. My grandparents lived in this neighborhood for 10 years and I remember them talking about this family's house. My grandparents are very conservative and old fashioned born and raised in the east. This is not the kind of thing they would usually even give a moment of their time to, unless it held some definite truth and weight to it. They did take it very serious and felt awful for the family. I didn't know a book had been written, I was just browsing through other various books on haunted houses when a reviewer suggested this book. Strange coincidence.

The Black Hope Horror

I loved this book!!! You know a book is good when you can't put it down and you bug everyone you know to read it. :) This book hits home for anyone who has experienced similar situations or know of someone who has. Now that I've purchased the book, I am trying to find the t.v. movie that was made..... Thanks!

Houses don't have to be old to be haunted...

This chilling true story of a haunting will change the way you look at life, death, and life after death. The Williams' family shares their experiences with the supernatural, from the mildly annoying (toilets flushing by themselves) to complete terror. Read this book with the lights on!!
