Haunted Boston Harbor

by Sam Baltrusis

Meet the spirits who lurk in the waters near this historic seaport and its secluded islands—photos included!   Boston Harbor brims with the restless spirits of pirates, prisoners, and victims of disease and injustice. Uncover the truth behind the Lady in Black on Georges Island. Learn about the former asylums on Long Island that inspired the movie Shutter Island, and dig up the skeletal secrets left behind by the Woman in Scarlet Robes.   From items flying off the shelves at a North End cigar shop to the postmortem cries of tragedy at the centuries-old Boston Light on Little Brewster, author Sam Baltrusis breathes new life into the horrors that occurred in the historic waters surrounding Boston.

Entertaining. Nice bunch of history and ghosts in one book.

[Teresa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my kind of book. My husband and I travel a good bit and I always find myself in a gift shop looking for books about the ghost stories in the area. I have a bookshelf full of this type of books. I love reading the history of how the legend was made and love to read the people who have seen the ghosts experience. I was not let down at all by this book. I was sad when I finished the book in just one day.

Sam Baltrusis has done a fabulous job with this book. I loved reading his first hand account of going to the different places. I loved the pictures in the book. His descriptions were great, in my minds eye I could picture being there. This is one of the few haunted City books I have read that the person who is writing it has actually been to the place for more then just to get the legends. I hope to find more books like this from Sam. And I am set to go with my copy if I ever make it to Boston Harbor.
