Customer Reviews

Amazing amounts of information!

With this large book you will get a lot more bang for your buck. It's broken down by each state and the cities and haunts in those locations. In my state of Indiana it lists 23 cities sometimes with multiple haunts in each city. You definitely need this book if you travel and also enjoy the paranormal. The author obviously put a lot of research and work into writing this. I'm not a fan of the cover. The cover looks sort of cheap and home-made and doesn't do any justice at all for the amazing content of the book

Great Read!

I bought this book over 5 years ago, and have read it cover to cover 7 times. It provides a State to State list of a bunch of hauntings. It even provides addresses, and directions at times. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is obsessed with the paranormal, and ghost hunting!

The BESTghost directory.....

I am a ghost afficianado, with shelves full of books on the subject, but this one stands out. It covers SO MANY haunted sites! In my area alone there must have been 30 sites listed (which is more than the local authors could manage to gather), yet each listing seems legitimate, and checks out with the local fokelore. There are haunted cemeteries, houses, churches, schools, libraries, etc. I've actually had people tell me about having experienced strange things in some of the local sites BEFORE they even knew I had this book... imagine their shock when I showed them that the place in question is listed in the book!Each listing doesn't necessarily have too many details, but just a short background and description of the phenomena... there are an amazing number of listings for every corner of the country, though! I highly recommend it!

Where to Go and How to Get There...

Haunted Places: The National Directory, by Dennis William Hauck, is a treasure trove of not only reputedly haunted places, but of our country's history as well. Sorted alphabetically by state, then by city, it's easy to find a haunted place within driving distance. Directions are given to locations, and phone numbers when they're open to the public. If you plan on doing some traveling throughout the country, this book could be the difference between just another boring tourist trap and an exciting Ghost Hunt. Don't forget your camera!

Great for the Paranormal traveler

This book is a great, more accurate than not accounting of haunted places, UFO sighting sites and other paranormal events. The listing is first by state, then by city, and gives addresses, directions and phone numbers! I travel a great deal and never travel without it!

Lots of fun on long drives around the country !

I received Mr. Haucks book from my husband after he conducted an interview with him for a radio show in Chicago IL.1996. Since that time we have Lived in MA., MI., GA., and currently NY. We have traveled by car to and from these states often. It has been interesting to read about the haunted sights listed. We visited many of them along our way for entertainment. I am not an expert on the subject of the paranormal but I do enjoy reading about sightings, area legends and superstitions. Thanks to Mr. Haucks book we have taken time out in areas of the country that we never would have visited other wise. I read the review or rather comment made by Dr. Myers about Mr. Haucks reported hauntings. I can only offer this story in response. My husband and I visited Graceland Cemetary in Chicago and saw the statue of Inez Clarke under glass on our first visit. Upon the second visit some weeks later (after a rain)the statue was not there. Do I believe she was walking around? or just out for repairs? I can't say but it did make our visit all the more interesting and we never would have noticed if we hadn't looked in the book. Nowasa NY,NY.
