This was an unusual choice for me considering I don't believe in ghosts, but I was looking for a quick read to try to get me to my reading goal. Overall, very repetitive and definitely could have benefited from some more editing. I did enjoy reading about places I'm familiar with and some of the general local history that was included.

Pretty awful! I loved how the evidence of these elaborate experiences with local ghosts were “orbs” in photographs, which everyone knows is dust particles. The author claims to have witnessed entire ghost battles on Oriskany battlefield with the naked eye and claims to have interviewed ghosts at Beardslee castle. Unfortunately, despite the extensive, expensive equipment brought along to these investigations, all of the equipment “mysteriously started to malfunction” in every case, which they also used as evidence of a haunting. Absolutely ridiculous. I loved phrases like “diabolical laugh” which had me in stitches.
