Enjoyable, this book on not only ghostly tales and legends of Greensboro, North Carolina had history too. Ms. Bane kept me enthralled until the end.

Honestly, I never actually thought much about this. When I was in the library a few days ago, I stumbled across this book in my quest to finding information on supposed haunted locals. It was all research because I wanted to write a collection of horror/paranormal stories, one thing led to the other and I decided to buy this book for myself. It was a lot of fun trying to research these places and it helped me come up with new story ideas. I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in hunting the paranormal.

Book I felt I "got through" rather than read. More history than ghost stories. Very boring at times. Skipped the entire section of soil samples bc it was putting me to sleep
