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.

This was a very good read! Troy Taylor has gone above and beyond by researching the history of these stories. This book is not only for ghost story buffs but history buffs as well.
