Read for some background information on a short tour of spiritualism in STL I was giving. it's fine, as in it provides the information. But it felt like it was written by a man who lived at the turn on the twentieth century (like those he writes about) who was so willing to believe in women communing with spirits because there is no possible way a woman may possess anything that might resemble intelligence-- thus, it MUST be spirits communicating through her!

But it's good resource since there really isn't much that is easy to access about the "haunted" spots in STL.

really poorly written, but all kinds of bits to inspire a search for real books regarding similar content.

A fun read. A lot of history about St. Louis, my home town.

More history than haunting, but still an informative read. This one probably won’t scare the pants off of you, but it does inspire the reader to dig into some of the stories more in-depth.

Great spooky season overview of the haunts in Blues City.

I have read several of Troy Taylor Books and I like all of them. He combines history and ghost story telling into an interesting narrative. Although I will comment on his grammar or that of the editor. It's not the best in the world. I found many grammatical mistakes throughout the book, but who cares. It was still a fun read!

I found this book interesting especially with the historical background of several places/people in the ST Louis area.

A very interesting book about the history of stl and the hauntings and crime that went on there. I could read troys ghost books all day.
