Savannah’s Ghosts II

by Al Cobb

Savannah, Georgia, has been rated among the top three haunted cities in America today and for good reason! True stories of ghosts, poltergeists, and strange and unusual spiritual events in Savannah will make you shiver as you read about: - The tragic air crash that killed crew and observers--are they still here with us? - A dark shadow in the attic of the Krouskoff Mansion on East Abercorn Street--the one that just waits and watches. - Gravesites by the runway at the Savannah International Airport--why are they there? - The skeleton found in the wall at the Foley House Inn where a murderous secret is buried. These and other scary tales of Savannah will have you reading deep into the night, proving that real life experiences are, indeed, far stranger than fiction. Includes a detailed touring map so that you, too, can visit Savannah's Ghosts!

Al Cobb's writing has improved since he wrote the original Savannah's ghosts. I have to give him credit there. Another thing that he has done with this book is take these hopefully true stories and given blow by blow descriptions of fights or told you exactly what a person was thinking, even though there is absolutely no way he could have known these kinds of details regarding people that have died well over a century ago. It does makes a more entertaining read so I am giving him a pass on this small detail. Another weird thing about this book is that I found maybe five grammar errors inside it's covers. Comma's that should have been in sentences several times and at least one instance of poor sentence structure. I am terrible at grammar myself so I sympathize, however I can't help but wonder how this book went to print with mistakes that even I can pick up on. Last piece of information that I think may be somewhat relevant just for the sake of being so different than what I normally find associated with these types of writings is Al Cobb's constant quoting of bible quotes and his witnessing for Jesus Christ throughout the book. Most devout Christians that I have come in contact with quote the bible to warn against studying the paranormal, ghost hunting, and most things New Age. Al takes the exact opposite stance and quotes to prove their existence in scripture and to give you some guidelines on how to deal with an evil spirit if necessary. Not a great book but better than his last. Good job Al Cobb.

a lot of religious hokey-pokey stuff. al cobb sounds kind of like a kook. he claims that he tries to represent his field as faithfully as possible, while maintaining that 99.9% of spirits are friendly, but at the same time says that there are no professionals in his field? where did you get that statistic from, al?

some of the encounters are just plain silly and completely unresearched. i figured that i'd get more historical references out of this book, but the only sources listed in the bibliography are his prior publication, the king james bible, and an atlanta journal magazine from 1940.
