Definitely some spooky stories, but I mainly enjoyed for the history of the state. The author researched well and lays down a nice foundation for each of the "haunted" locations. For instance, the reader gets a decent life synopsis for individuals such as Daniel Boone and Jesse James, while the possible haunting is maybe a few paragraphs. This suited me well as I was more interested in the history portion. I noticed that the author also has one written for Illinois, so I'm excited to read that one too!

I got this book as a souvenir during my recent trip to Kansas City. The content pulled me in, although at times it seemed to slow. Eventually, I was able to reconnect with the stories, getting used to the narrative style. It's definitely an acquired taste, and a good start for those looking for info on Missouri's most notable ghost haunts.

Enjoy!

Not a book you read straight through, lots of short stories. Had the details of the Exercist story at Alexian Brothers Hospital, The Lemp family hauntings and a lot I didn't know.... Entertaining for sure.

Great history in each story. Need to add photos.

Great stories. I would recommend this book to all. Have read other books by Troy Taylor, they're all good reads.
