Quick and easy read. I like that the author gives a history of the haunted places before telling of the hauntings. I bought this book because I was staying in The Perry Hotel, one of the places featured in the book, and it was on sale in their gift shop. Obviously I had to have it. When I bought it the lady at the front desk told me that the library was where most of the paranormal activity has occurred. Yes this place had an awesome old library, so obviously I immediately went to the library dragging my boyfriend along with me. We sat there as I read aloud the stories that took place in the library. Of course being the weirdos we are we then proceeded to close the doors and turn off the lights to see if we could have an experience. Sadly Doris the ghost that haunts the library didn't want to show herself to us but it was fun being in a haunted place none the less!

I love me a good, "real" ghost story, so I'm always picking up these types of books. My friend S brought this one back for me and my roomie from her trip to upper Michigan. I never know whether to take these stories with a grain of salt, but I do think that sometimes there is something of truth in the tales.

Michigan's Most Haunted has some interesting stories in it, but it could have benefited from stories that had some more concrete evidence to their "hauntings" and maybe some pictures of the actual "ghosts." Lyons did provide pictures of each of the locations talked about in her book, along with information on contacting the locale in case you want to visit it yourself.

I loved this book.

This is a great book and it tells about some very intresting some what unknown ghost locations. I really enjoyed this book and although I love ghost/Paranormal things I have not found a lot of good true ghost books about Michigan. This is probably one of the best so far that I have read.

Not a lot of intellectual curiosity went into the writing of this. It's a collection of people's stories, taken at face value. A lot of them aren't even particularly good ghost stories... "this one time, I misplaced my keys, and found them somewhere else, but I know that's not where I put them."
