Description

Do you believe in ghosts? Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, the stories of the supernatural in Ghosts Among Us: True Stories of Spirit Encounters will keep you riveted. Macabre and fascinating, Ghosts Among Us offers true-life, haunting accounts of eerie visitations and paranormal experiences along with artistically shot black-and-white photographs of haunted sites. The personal, firsthand reports and chilling, full-length stories are bolstered by sidebars of actual accounts of "Ghosts in the News." Each chapter explores mysterious events-events that the reader will find hard to pass off as mere coincidence.

The reader is invited to skip ahead to learn about that chilling episode...but the pages prior to that offer their own gripping, spell-binding encounters.… (more)

I liked this book a tad better than the previous one. Segmented into chapters with specific topics, it seemed more cohesive and better written.

Topics included haunted amusement parks, ghostly letters, haunted restaurants and hotels and haunted cemetery stories.

Some pretty interesting stories,some scary ones too! A few photos of ghosts,but mostly photos of places where ghosts have been reported. Easy to pick up and put down again if you need to. Enjoyable. Great reference if you are traveling and want to visit some of these places.
