Fabulous!!! Not the same old stories you always see!September 24, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is probably the BEST first person account book EVER! I love the tough, superior quality of the book pages and binding and photographs- thick and glossy pages, heavy and solid book. But that is secondhand to the spooky true stories told by various people ! Stories are a little short, but the fast pace and MANY stories in this book make up for that. I am an avid collector of both Horror anthologies AND "Haunting" anthologies, and it takes a bit to keep me interested. These are not the same tried and true "Famous" ghost stories retold in soooo many of my Haunting books . BUY THIS- you won't be dissapointed!!!
Absolutely fun book about ghostsAugust 23, 2007 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I finished reading this book a few days ago. You know a book is good when the reader is actually sad about finishing it. This is a compilation by many authors, done in a style similar to Weird NJ magazine. It's really great. Some of the addresses of the haunted sites are given, sometimes with a caveat that the particular location is a private home and the (living) residents don't want to be disturbed. I enjoyed the Hawaiian ghost story about the cemetery lei the best. No one should be bored reading this. Weird Hauntings is great fun and I would highly recommend it.

This book was very good! I am an avid reader of Ghosts and Hauntings and find many books on the subject just dont keep my interest due to them being boring or all the stories seem to be the same but using diffrent names. Weird Hauntings was a very good book and I would recommend it to anyone interseted in the paramormal!

In this book, the authors of Weird U.S. have compiled with the help of Joanne Austin a collection of ghostly tales having to do with haunted houses, spooky roads, historic buildings, graveyards, hostels, restaurants, saloons, schools, institutions etc. Not only are the stories well-written, but there are actual photographs, and also pictures added for creepy effect throughout the book. It makes not only for an interesting read for anyone interested in supernatual phenomena, but serves to enlighten us as to some of the creepy places in the US!

These were interesting stories throughout the US. Good book for those who want to read a short, and creepy story late at night.
