tastybourbon's review against another edition
3.0
This book started very slowly...so slowly that I started to doubt whether I should continue onward or give up. The collection of stories are broken into sections according to geographic area and it began with the Philadelphia area. In the Philly section, there was story after story of Hessian or other Revolutionary soldiers hanging out it basements. Id much rather the authors had just dedicated on collective chapter to the subject of Hessian soldiers hanging out in basements, provide a couple of the more exciting examples, and then list the collection of bars, restaurants, and inns that have similar sightings.
Finally things started to pick up a bit with a series of stories that included Little Girl Lost, which had a more engaging narrative style.
I realized I was really hooked at some point in the collection of stories from Gettysburg. It helped that there was much more historical knowledge that helped explain why some of the hauntings may occur.
Finally, it’s pretty cool I’ve added a number of places to visit in my home state. I’d give this book 3.5 stars if I could, but have to settle for 3 based on it’s very rocky beginning.
