 Haunted Heartland August 7, 2008
Good book, some good stories some boring, overall I wouldnt pay too much for this one.
 Great ghost stories May 15, 2008
I have several books on ghosts and hauntings in my collection. This was the first ghost book I ever bought. It is well worn and I have read it cover to cover several times. I probably like it so much because I live in the Midwest. Its stories are very interesting. I only wish it were available in larger print.

this book is fascinating! It is hard to put down and my advice is to not read it at night, as you will have those scary thoughts, you know during the time that you turn the lights out, just before you fall asleep! This is a really good read!
A nice collection of Ghosts August 30, 2006

This is a very detailed collection of this gendre, it is subdivided in USA States, each one of them has it's own legends on ghosts and this book collects them all, though i have to admit I had problems finishing it since many of these ghost stories become a little bit repetitive. It is a nice collection even if there are many similar to this world wide.
 Fun! September 21, 2005

These roughly 150 stories of supposed true-life hauntings from across the American Heartland are an entertaining and not too spooky collection that make a fun read for anyone with a bent toward accounts of ghostly goings-on. These reports challenge the niceties of the accepted axiom "there are no such things as ghosts!" From decaying haunted houses, to fraternity hangouts, to whole towns infected with preternatural unease, from playful spirits to hate-filled demons, the authors have scoured the folklore banks of the Midwest and retold Resurrection Mary, the spirit of the dunes, Lincoln's phantom funeral train, and an Illinois house so overrun with evil that no one has ever successfully spent the night in its attic. I didn't find anything in here overpoweringly chilling but I know some people who spent nights sleeping with the lights on because of things they read in this book. I think it comes down to your tolerance levels but in my opinion these bits of folklore, tall tale and urban legend combine with the genuinely unexplained and set a reader up for a mind-twisting ride that's sure to kick start even the most sluggish imagination.
