City Ghosts: True Tales of Hauntings in America's Cities

By Robert Edwards and Mary Beth Sammons

? From Chicago to San Francisco, Boston to Seattle, every city in America has more than its fair share of ghostly inhabitants. The authors introduce these phantasmic urban figures, with a chilling collection about historic and modern day ghosts who continue to haunt the buildings, streets, parks, and harbors throughout the cities of America. It's a travel guide of sorts, with a description of the place, history, and spectral appearances, along with information on ghost tours, people who have glimpsed these ghosts, and more. The very colorful reporting explains how these visitors from beyond have shaped America's cities and how, even today, they continue to have a profound influence on both the tourist trade and lore.

Fun guide to haunted spots in various cities

While not as detailed as some true ghost books in my collection, I found this one to be informative and fun. When traveling, it is easy reference for visiting actual haunted spots and getting basic information about the hauntings, etc. I was REALLY glad this book wasn't chock full of only current sightings by individuals, but gave the actual history of the haunting.
