Editor and anthologist John Robert Colombo derived these true tales from nineteenth-century newspapers, personal correspondence, e-mails, interviews, and more.

Reviews

[Arthur Lake · Rating 2 out of 5]

Perhaps Colombo's weakest book: there are too few vintage journalistic reports, and far too many accounts of mysterious happenings that he has learned about from email correspondents and online newsgroups.

I had to stop after reading the racist reporting of traditional West Coast Native practices. Such an article has no place in any book, let alone one about ghost stories.
