Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Haunted Places is the first directory to be written by dozens of the world's leading paranormal investigators. Research notes, location background, first-hand accounts, and many anomalous photographs featuring ghostly manifestations comprise the hundreds of haunted listings in this directory. For years, paranormal investigative groups have been studying their local ghosts with scientific equipment as well as with more esoteric methods, such as psychics and seances. This directory is a repository of some of their most profound cases. From across the United States, Canada, and many spots around the globe, ghost investigators tell of their sometimes harrowing experiences, share their research, and give readers an overview of both well-known and obscure haunted locales. From private residences to inns and restaurants, battlefields to museums and libraries, graveyards to churches, The Encyclopedia of Haunted Places will offer supernatural tourists a guide to points of interest through the eyes of the ghost hunters. This reference also offers names, addresses, phone numbers, and Web addresses to each location covered. Feeling brave? You may just want to stop and visit some ghosts on your next trip. Jeff Belanger is a voracious fan of the unexplained. He's been studying and writing about the supernatural for regional and national publications since 1997. Belanger is the founder of Ghostvillage.com, the Internet's largest supernatural community, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors per year. He's the author of: The World's Most Haunted Places: From the Secret Files of Ghostvillage.com (New Page Books 2004), and The Encyclopedia of Haunted Places (New Page Books 2005).

 Great book by a great author July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are so many different writers in this book it's almost insane. So if you're looking for a real flavor of Jeff Belanger, you won't find it 100% in this book. However, the people that write about some of these haunted places are very well informed and have done their homework. It's really interesting to hear the stories and encounters of all these people not only across the country but all over the world. I would buy this book again if it were ever lost or stolen. It's a cool thing to have.
Great Starter Reference June 7, 2008
This is an excellent book for beginner paranormal student or those with paranormal interests. It is also an extensive collection of haunted locations that are typically found in individual books, so purchasing this book can save you money. Although the book tries to include world-wide locations, its focus is mainly the United States. I would imagine that readers interested in foreign haunted locations would be disappointed with this book. Still, I recommended it full heartedly for use as starting source of paranormal investigations. There are more reportedly haunted places than one can imagine!
 Not as good as some April 20, 2008
The International Directory of Haunted Places was not as good as the above refrence ( also a national directory by the same author ). Was interesting enough but was nowhere near as creepy as the afore mentioned. Pretty standard fare,was one of those books you could put down.
Great Book! March 3, 2008

We are in this book so I might be a little prejudice, but it is REALLY a great source of information! As investigators, we love to read about the historical facts and ghostly inhabitants. This is a very entertaining book, and I highly recommend it!
