The ghosts have us surrounded!

Despite having grown up in the Ohio valley area mentioned in this book, especially in and around Parkersburg West Virginia, I was unaware of the vast majority of these hauntings. I will admit that there are places around the state that do tend to be rather spooky even without knowing any of the area's history. After reading this book I plan on revisiting several of the places mentioned just to check everything out. Susan Sheppard mentions the Silver Bridge collapse, which I was aware of having had relatives living in the area at the time. Reading her account of it brought back a lot of memories from the time as well as giving me reason to research the incident in depth to find more of the personal stories from the time. If you frighten easily, don't read this book prior to going to bed as the author did an excellant job of describing everything that takes place in each story. Personaly, I liked the details she gives in the book as I am familiar with many of the areas she visited.
