 Boring Ghost Stories September 3, 2008

I had high hopes for this book..but when I started reading, I was immediately bored.I don't recommend this book if you wish to be "scared" with a good ghost story.
 When Ghosts Scream August 25, 2008
Leslie Rule has done it again. I have adored her books from the first one on ghosts that she has written. I eagerly look forward to each one she writes. She has a style that is informative yet readable. Some ghost books get bogged down on all the technical jargon and electronic toys the ghost hunters use. I'm pleased to see that Leslie does not do that. She gives us a history of the site where the haunting has taken place and the general population of the time. Her books make for a very interesting read even if you are a skeptic that doesn't believe in ghosts. I'm delighted to see that Leslie writes as well as her Mum Ann Rule.
Fantastic book of ghost encounters! April 28, 2008
This is a book I am sure I will read again and again over time. A look into many ghostly hauntings, and
a few possible answers. To me, the most entertaining ghost stories are the ones that I believe are likely
to be true. For me, I have seen a ghost once - the ghost of my grandmother after she passed away in our childhood home many years ago. The feeling I got was that she was watching me play - and did not want to be
seen - just watching. All I saw was her clearly was her foot turn the corner into the living room - when I went to
the next room - it was empty.
It is fascinating as you read of ghost stories - how some are terrifying, some are simply the ghost seeming to go
through the regular routine they remember so well.
This book is a must-read as far as I am concerned.
True stories told March 10, 2008
One thing I look for in a writer, is that when I read their books I like to hear them speak as they are writing, the voice of the character. With When a Ghost screams,Leslie Rule did a fine job of this. As if she was the character in the story. Being that I read the book before turning in , it was mildly suspenseful, although if I wanted a hair raising ghost story this was not it, and I don't feel Leslie was trying to create something spooky.
I would love to see Leslie venture out to some people who have lived in haunted homes, write about the experiences they have had .......
( I throw a Hint Hint in here ) in hopes she would reconsider one day , writng my story. She is a beautiful writer a talent in her own skin.. young at heart, with age and wisdom so will her books mature into the master pieces she creates.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read your book.

 Good book, worth the look February 16, 2008

Although I regret that I do not believe in ghosts, the main draw for me were the stories leading up to the hauntings. A good read, though. In fact, some of the stories, one in particular, about a campus hazing, I can't get out of my head.
Ann Rule writes the forward.
