Going to be super helpful for work! Would have loved a longer book which explored the deeper themes like "A Season With the Witch." But there's still good stories here.

There were some really interesting ghost stories with enough of a history lesson to make them more relatable. I love ghost stories so I will be looking for more.

Very interesting and educational

I like the book, grew up in Norfolk, VA but have been to VA Beach several times, now I need to go to some of these places.

A great read! I'm into the paranormal and reading books like these always intrigue me. What makes these a bit more scarier I'd the fact that I and my family are stationed and living in Virginia Beach and have been to many places stated in the book. What's also neat is the fact that I have a friend who knows the author and the fact that the author does tours as well.
