Got to give this book a ton of stars. Oh, my childhood.

I grew up near the Potomac and spent a ton of time in the places described by these stories. I bought the book itself in one of the houses described in the stories... They're fun, they're short, and there are a lot of them. It's irrelevant to me whether the stories are true or not, they fascinated me as a child either way.

Can't wait to give this book to my nephew and continue the cycle of late nights spent poring over ghost stories and wondering what's out there. :)

I like the book, I really wanted more of it.

I'm sure these don't have much to them if you've never lived in the Eastern Panhandle or thereabouts, but susan Crites's ghost stories were fun for me, especially in middle school.

I read a lot of books on ghost stories and paranormal events, particularly those set in Virginia or the nearby region. This is a small book with 17 short stories based on the author's interviews with those who experienced them centered around the western Maryland, northwestern Virginia, WV eastern panhandle region. The author does a remarkable job writing these ghostly accounts and excels at making readers believe they occurred as reported. Quite a lot of fun. Recommended.
