Your Neighborhood Gives Me The Creeps by Adam Selzer
3.5 ★
Do ghosts really exist, or is "ghostly phenomena" just strange stuff that gets blamed on dead people? Giving you the real story, professional ghostbuster and skeptic Adam Selzer of Weird Chicago Tours delves into a mysterious death at a former funeral parlor, nightly ghost sightings at Hull House, and more. Proving that not all ghost hunters are kooks (some are just geeks gone wild), Selzer showcases true spooky tales worldwide, a history of hauntings, the art of ghost hunting, and cool evidence of paranormal phenomena and the supernatural. These ghost stories will make you want to investigate that cemetery down the road to see if it's haunted—or just dark and creepy.The thing I really liked about this authors writing was that he didn't try to sell the reader on the idea of the existence of ghost. I guess he really didn't have to since the "ghost Tour" business that he and a partner run in Chicago will attract customers regardless. Some will believe and the rest are there for the entertainment. The man's stories are amusing and entertaining...perfect for a dark night around a campfire or a Halloween party. I don't know if ghosts exist and Adam Selzer really doesn't know either but he still doing his tours of supposedly haunted places with an open mind.
