Haunted Jefferson City: Ghosts of Missouri's State Capital

by Janice Tremeear

Missouri’s state capital groans beneath the burden of its haunted heritage, from the shadow people of Native American folklore to Boogie Man Bill, Missouri’s wild child. The muddy river waters hide the shifting graves of steamboat crews, like the one that went down with the Montana, and the savage scars of the Civil War still linger on the land. Join Janice Tremeear for the fascinating history behind Jefferson City’s most chilling tales, including a visit to the notorious Missouri State Penitentiary, where the vicious festered for 170 years.

History is needed for paranormal research

I love how the book opened with the importance of history to understand the paranormal. This book includes the history and the reports & accounts of ghosts. If you are planning on ghost hunting in Missouri, this is a must read to understand the history and energy you may encounter.

I expected more from this book, and before I chose to read it, there was only the 1 review here on Goodreads so I just took a chance.
The issue for me was that the book focused a great deal on the history of the city and the hot (paranormal) spots. Little detail was given to the actual hauntings. I really had to force myself to even finish the book.
