Spirits of St. Louis II: The Return of the Gateway City Ghosts

by Robbi Courtaway

You don't have to believe in ghosts to enjoy Robbi Courtaway's new book, Spirits of St. Louis Return of the Gateway City Ghosts. But don't be surprised if you rethink your position after reading this compilation of more than 100 new supernatural stories from the St. Louis area. Why is a B&B in DeSoto, MO, said to be guarded by angels? Is the tuxedoed chap who haunts the halls of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel the same guy who frequents the deserted Kiel Opera House? Did the decades-past conversations of gangster Al Capone awaken composer Craig Cervantes at his strange Castelwood home several years ago? Why did a Chesterfield resident do a double-take when he met up with an English castle ghost made famous by Mark Twain? These questions and many more are explored in careful detail in Spirits of St. Louis II. Woven together with the tales are local lore, historic tidbits, and fascinating viewpoints that run the gamut from believers of the paranormal to scientific purists.

I loved reading about the many spirit stories in this book. This thin book is jam packed with stories and takes awhile to read. I highly recommend this book!
