DESCRIPTION:
"Very scholarly and thorough." according to David Goodwin. The author combed through hundreds of periodicals for documented supernatural occurrences and presents all of them here. Many stories are brief recounting, many more are thorough accounts, simply reprinted the way the original articles were found, resulting in a comprehensive yet mixed bag. Some stories are just too brief to be compelling.The author (or should I say "editor") here goes on to give extensive notes and cites . Everybody Loves A Ghost Of course the criteria you suggest for rating the book really isn't fair. How can ghosts be fully developed characters? But the book is fun and insteresting and the service was excellent.. "Ghost Stories of the Pacific Northwest" according to vrmj. The first half of the book was boring. The last half was a little more interesting. The people who live around Seattle and Tacoma should find the last half of the book informative. It lists a lot of public buildings that are haunted.
Here is a ghostly gazetteer chronicling the numerous contemporary accounts of Northwestern hauntings and other strange happenings reported in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon.
