[Dennis Phillips · Rating 5 out of 5]

Most books of this type, including the very best of the genre, are for the most part second hand accounts of ghostly encounters. In other words, the author has interviewed people who have had a run in with a ghost and the author then relates the story in book form. On occasion one will run into a book that was written by a person who had been closely involved with the haunt in question but even then the author usually just happened to move into the wrong house. Kriss Stephens on the other hand, actively hunts ghosts and has taken her team to some of the most haunted places in the world. The only other author of ghost books that I have run into who does this is Hans Holzer who is considered by many to be the foremost authority in this field. Dr. Holzer however comes nowhere near Ms. Stephens when it comes to contagious enthusiasm for the subject at hand. While reading this book one can just feel the enthusiasm and excitement bursting off of the page and it is hard not to get caught up in the author's excitement.

I really enjoyed how the author takes the reader along with her as she explores the various potentially haunted locations. This book isn’t over-the-top and was able to intrigue me with the narrative because of my love of history and things that go bump in the night!

Loved this book, couldn't put it down. Kriss really tells a good ghost story. She explains a bit of history with each place. If you are a bit of sceptic, then this might change your mind.
