This book has a twist-it is mostly newspaper articles from Ohio newspapers published in the mid to late 1800s and early 1900s. The author inserts personal thoughts and brief explanations throughout the book which adds a modern day perspective. From ghosts and haunted houses to poltergeists that set fires, this book held my interest to the end. The flowery writing of reporters of the day can become a bit tedious at times but the views of that era they present were very interesting. ( )
