Haunted Lafayette

Haunted America

by Dorothy Salvo, W.C. Madden

Boilermakers Beware: There's a dark and secret side to Lafayette's history that is sure to send shivers down the spine. From storied specters and urban legends, like Amelia Earhart's tragic figure haunting hangar number one at Purdue University Airport and sightings of the ever-elusive Bigfoot, to haunted houses and battlefi elds, with a guillotine suicide in the Lahr Hotel and the Trail of Death, authors Dorothy Salvo Davis and W.C. Madden leave no stone unturned as they examine the tragic past and the haunted present of Lafayette. With stories focusing on West Lafayette and White, Carroll and Warren Counties, Haunted Lafayette is a chilling read that no ghost enthusiast should miss.

This book had some pretty neat stories in it about various locations around Lafayette, Indiana. The most interesting thing that I read in this book was about the grave on Perdue University. I didn't realize there was some controversy about where this person was buried until I looked into it further. I also liked the cemetery and battlefield stories. These books are short, but the historical places they introduce you to are really cool. This took basically no time to read, but I am looking forward to the next one to learn about some more places that I haven't heard of.

Loved this book! The young Lady who wrote the book spoke at my sons grade school and did a amazing job talking to the tweens. Very historically accurate with a good thrill side!
