Product Description
In almost every town in America there are places where strange things happen. The perfect companion to The International Directory of Haunted Places, this revised and updated edition of Haunted Places is both a fascinating and unusual travel guide as well as an indispensable casebook for those interested in the paranormal. From buildings and parks believed to have resident ghosts and poltergeists to areas where Bigfoot or UFO sightings are most frequently reported, Haunted Places will lead you to more than 2,000 sites of paranormal activity across the United States. Organized alphabetically by state, each entry is referenced to an extensive bibliography of sources-with descriptions, addresses, phone numbers, Web sites, and travel directions provided for all locations.

 A-1 Reference Guide January 22, 2007

I have owned this book for some time and can say that it is very accurate in the information given. It is well written and the information seems to be well researched. This guide includes information on the stories of these locations, and directions as well as current info on the sites. If you really love to visit haunted places this book is well worth the money and time spent reading it.
 Recommended Paranormal Reference December 21, 2006
This book is easy to navigate, very informative, and well written. I really enjoy reading this book and; when I travel to an area, I reread the information about the ghosts there. I don't believe Haunted Places is 100% complete, but I still recommend it to anyone interested in the ghosts of the United States.
 Lots of places; very little info December 18, 2006

This isn't a bad book at all. I just had a different idea of what it would include. If you are truly looking for a directory of places all across the country and you plan to do some traveling, this is your book. However, if you're like me and plan to do more reading than traveling, this isn't the book for you. It really, truly is a directory. Think phone book...it has the location names, addresses and a few sentences on the locations' haunted activity. If that's what you're looking for, buy this book. However, if you're looking for an enjoyable read - this one isn't it. Again, it really is a directory.
Where to go to experience strange things first hand October 16, 2005

This book is a state-by-stae guide to haunted sites: cemetaries, neighborhoods, houses, schools, historical sites - you name it, if it was ever reported as experiencing paranormal occurrences, it's listed here.
Each site is linked to at least one item in the bibliography (many to more than one) where additional info can be found. (The bibliography has more than 230 items.) Hauck gives detailed information himself on each site and then tells exactly where each can be found. It's a thorough reference tool for anybody interested in this kind of phenonoma.
Probably an updated version should be considered soon. This is such a valuable tool it would be sad to see it become outdated or not current.
Great Read! April 18, 2005

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!
