Haunted things

Anybody will love this book that is into the paranormal. These 2 are the best Authors on the subject.

Haunted Pennsylvania

This is a book my son and I are reading together aloud. He is 9 and I am simply amazed at his vocabulary. This book is intersting because it is factual, and gives you an opportunity to read about the history of PA, and can open communication and conversation about related topics such as the civil war, and slavery. I have no idea how much truth is to the stories, but they are fun and intersting to read.

Good Bunch of Pennsylvania Paranormal Stories

This was a decent read. Not only does the author cover many of the more famous ghost stories from Pennsylvania's history, but there are more than a few stories that go beyond the "ghost" genre and delve into other paranormal events. Clearly written and concise. The only minuses are that none of the stories go into much detail. And the pictures.... To be honest, the pictures are completely superfluous, and in most cases a bit silly (and none are actual photos of paranormal activity, but rather recreations of events). Most likely the author threw them in to appeal to the younger crowd. I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that Haunted Pennsylvana is intended for those who want a 'creepy read' rather than a more serious, investigative overview of paranormal events, and probably ideal for younger readers, tweens to young adults. Though young-at-hearters who just want a decent bunch of ghost stories to read over a night or two will probably also be satisfied buying this book.
