Four stars for being engaging. Minus one for just not being all that spooky. I enjoy ghost stories and prefer the "true" stories handed down in folklore. _Ghost Ships_ suffers from a lack of any good tingles down the spine. There are abandoned and unfortunate, perhaps even doomed, ships in this (regrettably) slim volume, but very few ghosts.
