Customer Reviews

History mixed with ghost stories.

This book is really cool. Very short book but has some cool interesting stories in it. It’s amazing that some people ask about what they saw to the park rangers and such. You learn as you read about the ghostly encounters. Looking forward to getting the rest of the series.

Scary but True

I have been to Gettysburg 7 times. When I first went as a 8 year old I didn't believe in ghosts but after taking their "Candelight ghost walks" I instantly became obsessed with ghosts. When I say this I speak of all 6 or so books, they each contain easy to read, but powerful stories that sometimes keep you up at night. (Especially when you read the books at Gettysburg!)Mark Nesbitt grew up in Lorain, Ohio so my mom knows him and he knows a lot about ghosts.

Great Galloping Ghosts!

Mark Nesbitt's series, Ghosts of Gettysburg (five volumes), consists of some of the best paranormal journalism I haveever read in years. These books actually kept me awake nights.I have never been to Gettysburg, Pa, but Mr. Nesbitt makesyou feel as if you are there, complete with all it's colorfulhistory, and it's hauntings. Mr. Nesbitt seems to be neithera skeptic or believer, he lets you decide. Don't let the smallpage count of each volume fool you, there is a lot to read.I can hardly wait for volume six.

Fascinating...

One of five great books in the Ghosts of Gettysburg series by Mark Nesbitt, having read them all, I anxiously await his next. Whether or not you're a believer in the supernatural, these books will touch, educate, and fascinate you. They don't sensationalize, you don't get the feeling you're reading a bunch of goofy ghost stories. He presents the information in a very objective manner, and lets the reader make their own judgement. His research is thorough, he gives great context to the events he describes, and all of these books will grab you from page one. I can't wait for #6! (And if you ever have the opportunity to go to Gettysburg & take one of his tours, definitely do it - they really bring the books to life...)

SUPERNATURALLY COMPELLING!

I have read Mark Nesbitt's four series of books about the Ghosts of Gettysburg and I must say I was very impressed, both with Mr. Nesbitt's writing techniques as well as with the stories themselves. In writing the stories, Mr. Nesbitt incorporated any history involved with each one, so that the reader was able to learn a little bit about what happened during that fateful battle. So many people take being an American for granted. We should never, ever forget what our ancestors went through to gain the freedom that each of us enjoy and take for granted each and every day. If you are open-minded about the spirit world and even if you aren't and want to learn more about Gettysburg, read these stories. They are very compelling and will keep you in suspense. They will also touch your heart regarding the many tragedies that took place there. Mr. Nesbitt, many compliments to you sir and please keep writing! I look forward to reading your next book on the Ghosts of Gettysburg! I also look forward to hopefully meeting you in person the next time I visit Gettysburg!
