I don't believe in ghosts and I'm more likely to roll my eyes at some of these stories, but as a native Ohioan, I enjoy reading about places that I'm familiar with, the tidbits of history scattered throughout. It's a fun, short read. The stories are generally less than two pages long and it's easy to pick up, read a few pages, and resume reading later.

Another terrific installment in the series, with many good and some quite chilling stories. As with previous volumes, the book weakens in the sections depending heavily on the author's psychic abilities, but they're still interesting to read. In fact, this might be the best overall volume yet. (B+)

Some of the stories and places described are interesting, but the writing and book style seems poorly done.

This book is a great read for someone who needs a great short read. The book is about a woman who goes around all of Ohio searching for haunted places. She can also see many ghosts.

The book was okay i like how they described all the ghost and how they go all the details.

One of my favorite was called " the phantom driver of old 40.The stroy goes back in the 1950's when to cops used to go into the Inn and this truck driver named Roy Fitzwater. He was driving across the bridge and a little blue sadan came by him and the inside light in the car was on and he said it was a skelton driving the car.

I didn't know there was such a thing as poltergiest It is a ghost that follow you around.

Is there going to be a new one?

I recomend it to kids that are in to the super natural and belive in ghost.

More ghost stories from around the state of Ohio. Once again, no stories from Meigs County, where I live.

[CD Peshek]

I liked this book/series because this was a very interesting book and it is about ghost encounters.
