Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Revised Edition Review & Giveaway

I love a good ghost story. I am completely intrigued with any supposed haunting and always have been. Dan is the same way. The one show we watch together is Ghost Hunters. We love researching local tales of haunted places, learning the history to it. I think that is what attracts me the most, the history of these haunted places and what all has happened there to start the ghostly tales. So, I was very excited when I was given the chance to review Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Revised Edition compiled & edited by Jeff Belanger.

This book takes you all around the world to a lot of different supposedly haunted locations. It is full of tales of hauntings, the accounts by some of the leading paranormal investigators the world over. I found haunted places close to home I'd never even heard of before, so I was delighted. The accounts of the hauntings are both thrilling and informative. There is also quite a bit of information on paranormal investigators from all over the world, which I found very fascinating.

I found this book to be informative and entertaining. Thanks to Jeff Belanger, there are several places we are now very anxious to visit. It is an easy to read book and it is easy to navigate. I had no trouble finding exactly the information I was looking for. If you are interested in the paranormal, you might enjoy this one. The book is available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon.com, and many other booksellers.
