Hans Holzer's Real Hauntings continues his account of true, authenticated case histories of haunting throughout the United States. From the restless shade of a sea captain on Cape Cod, to the remorseful parishioner at St. Mark's in New York who is unable to forget her extramarital affair, to the little girl ghost of Landsdowne, Pennsylvania, who can't quite understand what happened to her world, Real Hauntings chronicles the fascinating and dramatic accounts of the true experiences that ordinary people have had with the world beyond our own. New Hampshire, Virginia, California, Louisiana, Minnesota: Ghostly encounters can occur anywhere and to anyone. Among the many remarkable encounters in Real Hauntings is the story about the ghost of a young girl killed during a wild party in Hollywood; the testimony of tenants at an 18th century carriage house in New York's "Hell's Kitchen" regarding the several ghosts they have encountered; and the account of the piano-playing phantom in an old house in Arkansas. In all, twenty-five true, witnessed accounts are reported here by Dr. Hans Holzer.… (more)

Although the book has a copyright date of 2002 most of the stories are from the 1960's. He takes us through a few different portions of the US. The ones that I found mot interesting this time were the ones where he brought Sbyil Leek along with him as a medium and quoted verbatim what she said while in her trance state. His telling of the stories is very different then the more present day ones in which sometimes they can get the ghosts to cross over and other times not and he doesn't have any emotional attachments to the results. Also again thinking from a more modern perspective he's getting most of this cases form receiving letters from the participants which is so different than our modern day instant communication. Over all a good book and he is a fairly good story teller. ( )
