Product Description
Nevada is the nation's fastest growing state. And one of the most haunted. From the bright lights of Las Vegas to the small town of Virginia City, some of the Silver State's former residents still linger long after death has claimed them. Nevada's ghosts are a colorful bunch. Gangster Bugsy Siegel's lonely ghost has been seen several times in and around the rose garden and wedding chapel of the Flamingo Hilton in Las Vegas. Hank Parish was a despicable hombre who thought nothing of killing innocent people. Now old Hank is thought to haunt the building near the site where he was hanged over a century ago. Little Jennie Clemens was the joy in her parents' lives. When she died she broke their hearts and that of her uncle Mark Twain. She may be forgotten, but she's not gone. These are but a few of the ghosts that you will discover in Haunted Nevada.

 SUPERB BOOK!!!! June 26, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is a fascinating look into haunted Nevada.
The updated 2nd edition is now out.Janice Oberding has researched EXTREMELY thoroughly for this book. She is extremely knowledgeable about hauntings in Nevada. There are many, many photographs of ghostly Nevada sites-- all of them EXCELLENT. I look very forward to her upcoming book- Carson City's Ghosts.
She also has published Legends and Ghosts of the Lake Tahoe area-among many other Nevada haunted books. (...) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.

 Not a Good Book November 12, 2003

This book is a waste of money and I can't see anyone spending this kind of money on such a poorly written book, with such terrible photography. I read it after someone else bought it. I read their copy. Boy was he ticked to have bought a pig in a poke! He said he won't buy anything else by this author.
 A very interesting book on Nevada's haunts! October 12, 2003

I picked this book up at a ghost conference and got to meet the author as well. She is very nice, and extremely knowledgable on the ghosts and history of Nevada. Based on the the repeated negative reviews by one reader, Ms. Oberding has a jealous enemy with an ax to grind.
I think this is a neat little book, and does it's best to give the reader a taste of this states ghostly hangouts. I would recommend it!
Gripping and entertaining May 1, 2003

This author has a way of telling a ghost story that makes you carefully read each gripping page of this book cover to cover. I couldn't put this one down! Janice Oberding is an expert writer and story teller. This book is very well written and I would highly recommend it to everyone, you won't be sorry you bought it. Even if you don't believe in ghosts this book is very entertaining and rich in Nevada history, it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next exciting ghostly tale.
