Review

Regardless of personal attitudes this ghostly book will be interesting and educational to readers. Halls has done expensive research (well documented in back pages) and presents the text without showing personal bias. Within these pages readers learn about hoaxes, actual ghost sightings and ghost hunters. Historic places including houses, inns and battlegrounds are discussed and enhanced by excellent photos. The back pages are excellent but the font is difficult to read when used with dark backgrounds.

This glimpse into the world of the paranormal is sure to attract attention and will be passed around by friends. Public libraries and middle school media centers will want to make this purchase.

Overall Book Score: very good
