Though the United States of America are but two-hundred- and-some years old, every inch of her soil is covered with the spectral energy of the dearly departed. Through the ages, from long before our founding fathers to the present day, those who make their mark on the world after death are a constant presence. Theresa Argie, "Haunted Housewife" investigator, and Eric Olsen, journalist, take the reader through ten of America's most haunted locations. Take a tour with them through the Queen Mary, the most haunted ship still afloat today, as they explain the phenomena of hearing crying babies in an empty room. Join them as they explore reformatories and asylums seeking paranormal activity. Decide for yourself whether or not you are a believer in AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED: THE SECRETS OF FAMOUS PARANORMAL PLACES.
You don't have to believe in haunts to love a good ghost story, but it certainly doesn't hurt. As a lifelong believer myself, I don't have any blocks on my ability to believe these stories as true. For those more skeptical readers, there is no shortage of fascinating information nevertheless. Argie and Olsen provide not only historical background on each location, but personal stories of their investigative experiences and interviews from other visitors to the locations. There is a veritable wellspring of fascination in this book. I couldn't put it down, myself. As far as nonfiction ghost books go, there is often either too much historical or too much personal information. This book does not lack any balance, which is a real achievement.
AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED is also very well-written. Coming from such sources, this is not surprising, but it is refreshing all the same. There is no wandering chapter; there are specific sections scattered cleverly throughout each haunted area. The authors include definitions throughout the chapters so the uninitiated or the very confused can follow the terminology. The end of the chapter contains contact information for tours if any is available.
I haven't found a paranormal nonfiction book that I've liked as much as this one. AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED is wonderful. It is a very respectful treatment of some of America's ghostliest places from sea to shining sea. For the true ghost story enthusiast, this book is a must. I know I will be arranging a tour of Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri based on the wonderful tales in that chapter. Check this out; the spirits tell me you will not regret it.
