Product Description Forgotten somewhere between Bar Harbor, Maine, and New Brunswick, Canada, lies the most remote and mysterious section of the Eastern Seaboard. It is a region rich in stark beauty--and supernatural lore. The harsh landscape, with its rocky seaside cliffs and thundering surf and miles of dark, mysterious forest farther inland, lends itself to the ghost story. Overlaying the ghost tales gathered in this book is a sense of unspeakable horror and malice.
Customer Reviews: Chilling depiction of Down East MaineSeptember 10, 2007 Stephen A. Wierzbowski(Machias, Maine United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
One of the best collections of ghost stories ever put together. It is a book that will actually send chills up your spine.
Genuinely creepy!December 18, 2007 J. Macgillivray(Moncton, NB, Canada) There's nothing I enjoy more than a book about true ghost experiences, especially when they're set in one specific area. This one has lots of Maine history, the stories are well written, and a couple of them (The Demon Family in particular) made my hair stand on end.
I really enjoyed this one. Excellent!
Very well doneFebruary 17, 2010 C. Smith(USA) This book was well-written, scary, and nicely designed.
At first I was afraid it was going to be one of those dreaded cop-out "people say"-type ghost books, but most of the stories that seemed to begin that way did quickly bring in personally investigated contemporary accounts, which is something I have never seen any other author do, even though I have read hundreds of ghost books.
I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys readings personally investigated true ghost story accounts.
A Brief History Behind the HauntingsJanuary 27, 2008 hauntedpen(The South) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A fast, easy read of some interesting "true cases" of ghosts, haunted houses, and possessed relics and antiques. I particularly enjoyed the tales of the terrifying fog of Jonesboro, the tragedy inside the haunted house in Dennysville, and tales surrounding the bad little water falls of Machias. The author also writes of the former Victorian-styled Robinson House in East Machias and "America's most famous ghost," Nelly Butler. My favorite was the creepy and fascinating curse of "The Mask of Bali," about the unfortunate mishaps that befall the owners of an imported carved wooden mask.
