More Haunted Michigan: New Encounters with Ghosts of the Great Lakes State

by Gerald S. Hunter

The Presence of the Paranormal ""As with all things spiritual, it is the subjective experience that breathes life into what we believe. . . "" -- Reverend Gerald S. Hunter, from the Foreword of More Haunted Michigan Reverend Hunter invited readers of Haunted Michigan to open their minds to the presence of the paranormal all around them. They opened their minds . . and unlocked a grand repository of their own personal supernatural experiences. Hunter investigated these modern, active hauntings and recounts the most chilling and most unusual here for you, in further confirmation that the Great Lakes State may be one of the most haunted places in the country. More Haunted Michigan brings you antique ghosts from Jackson,, theatrical ghosts from Dowagiac, a growling ghost from Mackinac Island, and even a feline ghost from Otsego. There are ghosts who hang out in mirrors, a territorial creature that curses a Christmas tree farm, an angelic janitor, a talking cemetery, and a family terrorized for decades because their house sits on a portal to the spirit world. Join Hunter as he tours the state, documenting the unexplainable and exploring the presence of the paranormal in our lives.

As someone who is fascinated by the paranormal I found this book to be a bit lacking. The author is purely a story re-teller. Although I believe in ghosts, I also believe in science and proof. There was no hard proof for any of these cases. (except the photograph that he took at Gettysburg)After hear the stories there was no historical research as to to who any of the ghosts may be. He style of writing bothered me. Off on tangents and discussions about good restaurants to try in the area. There was no investigation, it was him listening to stories and taking a few pictures. If its a story tell it like a story. If you are going to make it an investigation then tell it like an investigation. This was a weird mix of the two. For being a collection of stories... it wasn't too bad. Some of them creeped me out. Not worth staying in my collection but given a three based on his haunting scale.

I read this book since the very first haunted house described in it was only a half a mile from my own home (it has since been torn down and a new home sits on the lot.) I was fascinated by the stories, but I like ghostly tales. It was a great book to start around Halloween and an easy read that I would put down and pick up as time allowed.

This was such a great book. I enjoyed the conversational writing as well as the directions and details and the straight forward approach to the investigations. I will certainly keep this on my shelf and look for others by Rev Hunter.

[Shelly Dabbs]

Very interesting stories. Lots of different places where these spirits live.

This is 2nd in the series. I actually read the 3rd one first & liked it better. This is ok, but the stories seemed tamer.
I liked the ghosts in the mirror!

Nothing special. Good for people who enjoy a local ghost tale.

Rev. Gerald S. Hunter, New Encounters With Ghosts of the Great Lakes State. PB-B, @ 2003, 10/08. Just like the title says "more" ghost stories, supposedly true. Fun to read. Okay.
