The author discusses various types of haunting such as active haunting, residual haunting and poltergeist activity.
Here is where I have a problem with the material. Everything I've read about ghosts and hauntings that discusses poltergeist activity says that the activity is very probably due to some kind of mental state of upset or something related, usually belonging to an adolescent, that can cause a type of energy to be released (not on purpose) that can have an effect on things around that person.
The author says that poltergeist activity is very rare.
Then the author goes into specific haunted places which include the Eastern State Prison, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium (there is an established thing here about places like this is that they start out fine but end up terribly overcrowded with resultant very bad conditions for those in them), and the Paramount Arts Center, among other places.
So now we'll go into the main problem with the book and that is in many places make no sense at all.
'There is not a problem until there is a problem.'
Okay. Rather obvious sentence there.
'In the air there is a unique smell of a strange smell.'
Thankfully the smell is unique.
In reference to telling if your house is haunted: '...if you hear heavy steps wait for the phenomenon of stop...'
Then there is this one referring to the Chatham Manor. 'Over the years the Chatham Manor reportedly visited a number of presidents.'
That much have crowded the White House to have a whole manor show up wanted to have a chat with the President.
Oh, also, there are a number of times when a person is listed by gender but almost immediately the gender gets changed in the next sentence.
Now, a geographic problem. '..a plantation is located in Louisiana that is in Los Angeles.'
I never knew Los Angeles was quite that big.
The book, unfortunately, has a lot more sentences like that. So, you have a book that needed very serious editing, more specific examples of hauntings and a more in-depth examination of just what constitutes a ghost.

This book is absolutely atrocious! The writing is horrible and sounds almost like an AI wrote it. There is random punctuation in the middle of sentences and the sentences sound like the writers thought dropped part way through and picked up a new thought. It is so horribly written that most of the paragraphs are hard to understand without rereading several times.
An example of what I mean in regard to the writing is this direct quote.
“Animal attacks are sometimes our best friends in life and death, how people, their minds live.” - What is this supposed to mean?
I don’t understand how no one edited this book and caught all of these grammatical errors or how the writer thought this draft was the one to publish.

Needs another read through
As stated by many others, the grammar made it almost impossible to understand the sentence half the time. Like I know my grammar and usage is bad, so I often don't notice and forgive mistakes, but here it so bad that I can only assume this was a quickly put together first draft. Also more than a quarter of the book is defining terms and talking about how to research the paranormal. All of it was basic and took up way too much of the book. The haunted places were difficult to judge because the setups were lackluster and any tension and intrigue it could have built was destroyed by the grammar and word choices.

This is a great book of ghost stories but they’re popular for a reason and it’s because most if you’re familiar with the genre you’ve already heard about having said that this is a great book for those who are just getting into ghost stories or more to be a tourist at such locations. I love ghost stories and these are pretty good but I heard of them already. I definitely recommend this to those who love ghost stories and have yet to delve deep into the subject. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Difficult to get through
This book was extremely difficult to get through. Not only are things spelled wrong but the grammar is horrendous. They thoughts are all over place. At one point the spelling of someone’s name changed. At another the location of a house moved from one state to another. This book is mostly random words thrown together.

Disappointed
Too much other information to wade through before you get to stories about places that are actually haunted. Being such a short book, I wish it would get right to what the title of the book says it is.

If I could give this negative stars I would. Poor grammar, typos, run-on sentences. It’s like reading William Faulkner and E. E. Cummings combined but when they were both either high or still in grade school. This book is awful!!!

Proof Reader!
This book needs to be edited! Spelling of a name changed mid paragraph from Chloe to Khloe. Too many mistakes to list.

The Grammar 🤦♀️
I could not understand fifty percent of the text because of the horrific grammar. I don’t understand how this was published.

Poorly written
More than half of the book is his “expert” opinions on how to be a ghost hunter. He makes a lot of references to television shows (even getting their names wrong in some places), and it sounds as if they were his primary source of research. The whole book is hard to read due to poor sentence structure and incomplete thoughts. It obviously wasn’t proofread before being published.

𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅.
This is the first book I decided to read from Matthew Clark and it may be my last. I've been getting into books about paranormal. You have to read half the book to actually get to the part that talks about the haunted places. I couldn't really get into the book either, was losing interest quickly. I felt like I wasted my time reading this book. There was also a lot of grammer issues....

HAUNTING
Was good, however I expected more. At times I didn't quite understand the writing. Liked the stories. If you like hauntings ,it's a good book.
