Customer Reviews

LOVED IT!!

This is a great book. It is very well written and researched. The storied will keep your attention and you won't want to put the book down!! Great job guys!

Even tops the tour!

On a recent trip to Charleston I took the walking tour based on this book. The tour was great but the book is better by a mile. Even while standing just outside or in some of the haunted areas mentioned in this fine book one didn't get a feel for the story like you get while reading these stories. All of the hauntings are documented and have been seen by several people adding to the credibility of this work. Everyone who has ever been taken by the beauty and charm of this wonderful old city has to read this book. If you have never been to Charleston read this book and you will want to go there.

A exploration into the haunted history of Charleston

Buxton and Macy were able to capture the essence of Charleston in their new book. I had heard a few of the stories before on their tour, but the book has transcended anythinjg previously covered on the subject of ghosts in Charleston. The book is very well written, and flows nicely from story to story. The photos compliment the stories very well, without becoming a distraction. The story about Fire Station #8 kept me up all night. Excellent book!

A paragon of excellence!

I live in Charleston, and I've been on many of the ghost tours, even the author of this book's tour, and this book really brings the stories to life. The stories are very well written, and are very interesting. I didn't believe in ghosts before I read this book, but now I believe in them. I hope they make a sequal to this book with even more ghost stories, because I wouldn't think before buying it. I hope I can meet the authors of this book, because they sound like very interesting people. This book is definitly a paragon of excellence!!!

Excellent

I think that this is one of the best books on the Ghosts of Charleston. I live in the city, and I have not seen any book that even comes CLOSE!
