Haunted Albuquerque

by Cody Polston

When the railroad arrived in Albuquerque in 1880, a whole new town of stores and saloons sprouted along the tracks in tents and shacks. But just like the original settlement, which came to be known as Old Town, the additional districts produced their fair share of macabre tales and ghostly lore. At the KiMo Theater, the crew still leaves out donuts for the tragic young victim of a 1951 water heater explosion. A mysterious woman in a black dress visits the bar at the Old Albuquerque Press Club with an apparent hankering for gin. From inexplicable occurrences at the Old Bernalillo County Courthouse to infamous residents of the Fairview Cemetery, Cody Polston gathers enough of Albuquerque's haunted heritage to entertain the most dismissive skeptic.

The author thinks that the reader cares about his opinion about if the ghost stories he’s writing about are real or not. Would have been fun to read about local history and ghost stories if the author left out his opinions.

I really enjoyed this book. It is so refreshing to find an author who is a experienced ghost hunter that isn't afraid to state his opinion on the hauntings. Many of the locations in this book have been written about before and its always the same story, so the different perspective was great.
