Spine tingling! Dont read alone!!!

Uhhh! Jacobson covers a broad spectrum of freaky fright starlitghts on this one. Bella grabbing the wheel of his hearse for one last stroll down Hollywood and Vine. The now Comedy Store that used to be the notorious mob affiliated Ciro's where such a dark specter lurks even a Vietnam vet can still barely talk about it to this day. The house where Sharon Tate saw a vision of her grisly end. And even the Holly Mont haunting's were the famed paranormal investigator Barry Taff couldnt get enough of the ghostly goings on. Especially when a lady who lived blocks from the homes called him weeks after the studies asking why he had left a note in her home when he had in fact left the note in the Holy Mont home. Ahhh, dont read at night or when you are alone in the house!!

If you love stories of old Hollywood - buy this book!!!!

Hollywood Haunted: A Ghostly Tour of Filmland by Laurie Jacobson and Marc Wanamaker is first rate in recounting ghostly tales of the bygone era of classic Hollywood. Jacobson and Wanamaker grasp the reader from the very first page and keep you on the edge of your seat right until the end! I felt as if I was with Jacobson behind the movie screen at Grauman's Chinese Theatre as she grippingly recounts her encounter with the Theatre's own supernatural guest. I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of classic Hollywood and great ghost stories.

Please Make My Skin Crawl

I bought this book when it first came out. Makes for a great read and kept me up for a few nights as I was reading away. Jacobson is an A-1 chronicler of the Hollywood ghost scene and has made me a believer after I visited some of these sites myself.

The best of Hollywood's true hauntings!

This book is awesome! It's so much fun to read about silver screen celebrities haunting modern day Hollywood. I have read several of this writers other books and have seen her on many talk shows giving her insight into Hollywood. She is certainly knowledgeable about Hollywood history as you will find in Hollywood Haunted, as well as her other books. I can guarantee you will enjoy this book. Also, you can use this books as a guide when visiting Hollywood and see if you don't come face to face with one of Hollywood's ghosts.
