Meh - not quite what I expected or was hoping for. Not bad by any means and some interesting information but hoped for a lot more/something different.
DNF pg. 104
This book covers an interesting topic, but sadly for me right now, it's not keeping my attention. I find myself growing bored, doing other things, and even falling asleep at times. What I did read was informative and interesting but I am not in the right headspace to enjoy this book so I am DNFing it for now. I hope to come back to this in the future though.

A fun little ghost collection. I knew most the stories already. But I think it's worth a read if you have interest in some famous ghost stories, haunted places, & supernatural culture.
Marc Hartzman does a fabulous job with this book! I absolutely loved reading through it! He talks about some of the better know hauntings, as well as some lesser known ones too - weaving in the information in such a way as to guide the reader.
He will discuss paranormal psychology, different aspects of the hauntings, but the book is laid out so thoughtfully, that even if you have heard of all of these places before - you are getting deeper in some places.
There were a few areas that felt glossed over, but that can be due to lack of information available, or space available - but I didn't feel like I lost out on too much.
Enjoyable and fabulous read! Highly recommend!

The text spent much more time covering spiritualism than I expected. I enjoyed the historical section at the beginning probably the most, along with some of the stuff about technology towards the end. I think this ended up being a little more dry than I was expecting, so it was slow going.
