If
you’re someone who is interested in the supernatural and also enjoys traveling,
then you may want to check out this book written by
journalist/parapsychologist, Terrance Zepke. This book is just one in a series
of travel books called Most Haunted. I’ve previously read and enjoyed A Ghost Hunter’s Guide to the Most Haunted Places in America
so I knew that I would enjoy this book as well. Ms. Zepke takes the reader on a
trip across America and visits some of the most well-known haunted historic
sites. It is a quick and easy read with lots of fun and entertaining facts that
won’t end up boring the reader. Sometimes travel guides can be monotonous,
often filled with useless information, but the author keeps things short and to
the point for each site while still providing enough information about ghost
sightings to keep the reader’s interest piqued. Pictures and maps are provided
for each site as well as any pertinent information, such as the cost to visit
the site as well as the distance and travel time to the site. At the end of the
book there are some fun quizzes about the information in the book to see what
the reader can remember. If I ever have the chance to visit America, I hope to
see some of the sites mentioned in the book and hopefully see a ghost or two.
The site’s history I was most surprised with was the Hollywood sign. I had no
idea it was haunted by a young lady who committed suicide there. Of course the
areas where many people were killed are full of ghosts and I’d love to visit
these sites as well, as they are written about so well in the book. This book
is perfect for the budding ghost hunter and I hope sometime in the future the
author will write about haunted sites outside of the United States.
I read
this in the digital format on my ereader and it formatted well. The pictures
were clear and distinct. The editing in the book was also well done. The cover
was quite eye catching as well. I look forward to reading more books from this
series and maybe, one day in the future, I will get to experience a ghost
siting at one of these places.
