Chasing Graveyard Ghosts: Investigations of Haunted & Hallowed Ground

I got this book for a dollar and, for me, it was a dollar well-enough spent. The author discusses several graveyards in Texas I now would like to visit. I photograph graveyards and while the woo of ghost hunting is interesting to me, I was mainly focused on the graveyard element of this book.

This book, like so many Llewellyn books, suffers from myriad problems. One is that there are no pictures. Why the hell would anyone include a chapter about the Aurora alien grave without including pictures? Why the hell would anyone want to read a chapter about haunted cemetery statuary without seeing a single picture of the statues in question? The answer is, of course, they wouldn't but Llewellyn has increasingly become a purveyor of books whose show more main characteristic is that they were published on the cheap.

The second is that you could find better information about ghost hunting in a 30 minute podcast. Seriously. This book is barely an overview of cemetery ghost hunting, let alone 250+ pages worth of information (though it does, hilariously, contain an 8 page form one should evidently use when investigating a cemetery).

Because this book gave me a couple of leads for new, interesting cemeteries, I consider it worth the dollar I paid. I don't get the feeling most of you would get the same return on investment. show less

Interesting read. I spend alot of time in cemeteries for my genealogy hunts.I've had some interesting experiences. If you like cemeteries and stories of what goes on day and night,this is a a good read!

Interesting non-fiction book about exactly what the title says - graveyards and ghosts.
