If you are interested in Cape Cod and enjoy curling up at night with a good ghost story or two, this book is for you. This type of book, which uses mostly contemporary first-hand accounts, is a welcome change from those that rely so heavily upon rehashed tales from the distant past. The stories are presented plainly, with a lack of embellishment that will make even the staunchest detractor wonder what may be possible. These fascinating tales will send chills down your spine! A word to the wise for those that have already read Mark Jasper's previous book, Haunted Inns of New England: some of the Cape Cod stories are recycled here, but understandably were just too good to leave out of a book exclusively about the Cape. A few tales are known legends, but the majority are new and, I believe, never before on record. While the locations of most private residences are not included, for obvious reasons, many of the stories are about real places of business that have allowed the author to include their name, town, and telephone number. All in all, this is an easy, enjoyable read. While reading this one, be sure to leave an extra light on to chase the shadows away!
Creepy Cape Cod ghost stories.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
There are few places as rich in history as Massachusetts and as alluring as Cape Cod. If you are as drawn to the Cape as I am and are fascinated by tales of the unknown, you will enjoy this book. The author presents the stories without embellishment and maintains the point of view from the people that are telling the stories. That, in my opinion, makes them even more frightening. The stories that are contained in the book are varied and well written. I highly recommend this one.
