If a reader asked me for one book to recommend buying for a national directory of haunted locations, Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places would be the book.
The final appendix, D, contains every source used as a reference. Appendix C is a listing of movies and media related to the paranormal. Appendix B is a directory to ghost hunters, researchers and resources. Each listing is a quick paragraph giving the key facts, and the state and town the location is in.
Appendix A lists quick synopsis about haunted locations across the country. In the back of the book are four appendixes that tie in well to finish up Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places. This never happened with Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places. As a reader, if a book wanders from the subject I tend to become easily distracted. Every listing has material that grabbed my attention and gave me the important details and facts, without losing my attention. Some are as short as half a page, while some may be up to ten pages. Each listing averages out to be one to three pages. Many of the locations are spread out across the country, requiring a far drive to visit numerous locations.Įach chapter contains a story and history of the haunted location and if available, a picture of the location, and researchers who have visited the location. The only negative I have about Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places is that if you are looking for large number of locations in one area, it is difficult to. The introduction is a quick read, and builds a sturdy bridge connecting to the chapters. The introduction is five and a half pages which gives a brief story about the activity in his families home while his children grew up, a few paragraphs on capturing evidence of spirits, and the five types of spirits according to Steiger Spirit residues, spirits of the dead, poltergeists, spirit parasites, and spirit masqueraders. The book is divided into the contents section, an introduction to the book, thirty chapters ranging from haunted homes and public buildings, hotels, inns and motels, poltergeists, roads and public highways, churches, cemeteries, and burial grounds, animal spirits and many other categories, and ending into four appendices and an index. Steiger wrote Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places in a way that gives readers a buffet table of stories around the United States without having to buy multiple books. The 580 pages are packed with haunted locations from every corner of the United States, photos of locations and researchers, references to movies, and bibliography stock full of books related to the paranormal. Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places,by Brad Steiger is an amazing book for its price.
