Product Description: Ever wonder what happens "behind the scenes" of paranormal investigations, ghost tours and haunted overnights? Ever wonder what happens when ghost hunters visit places that are so haunted that even they get scared? If so, then delve into the further adventures, and misadventures, of author Troy Taylor and the American Ghost Society's Len Adams as they recount their own personal experiences with ghosts, hauntings, haunted places, ghost tours and more. Discover these fascinating, often humorous and usually chilling first-hand accounts of some of the most haunted places in America, including the Villisca Ax Murder House, Eastern State Penitentiary, the Illinois town of Alton - one of the most haunted small towns in America, Lemp Mansion, Bell Witch Cave, Myrtles Plantation, Waverly Hills Sanatorium and many others! It's another look at the "confessions" of ghost hunters and the perfect addition to your library!
deeper than I expected Troy Taylor has been around the paranormal scene for a long time, and I'm fairly familiar with his Web site, but this is the first of his books that I've read. It's a good introduction.
Although the investigative information is pretty standard, I was very impressed with Taylor's dissection of The Myrtles myth and his other deeper research into traditionally haunted sites -- and how legends get perpetuated.
I'd like to see him do a book just on America's biggest allegedly haunted sites, including the Winchester Mansion, Queen Mary and others.
Ghost stories by two ghost hunters!!!!!!!! Another great history and ghost book. I'm telling you that Troy Taylor can write a good book for sure.
Another great read This is the second book I've read of Troy Taylor, the first being "Confessions of a Ghost Hunter". I loved both books. The stories are very well documented and I must say how impressed I am with the work done in research, something often lacking in other books. Having said that, I did find some of the history a bit too long and just wanted to get to the current investigation! I enjoyed the chapter on "Hunting for Hoaxes" which shows that legends about hauntings aren't always true.
The whole book was very interesting, funny and downright freaky at times. I would love to be on some of his investigations. Troy has a talent for telling a story (as does Len Adams co-author). I was sad when the book was done, but have ordered two more of his books and hope they are as entertaining.
There weren't quite as many typo's as in "Confessions" and not nearly as many "As I said before". The font is small and is hard on the eyes, late at night - which is the best time to read a good ghost story. If you every read these reviews Troy, try a slightly larger font in furture books.
A great read and highly recommended.
Lots of history This book was interesting if you are passionate about the paranormal but it also lends itself to those passionate about the history of the places it describes. Mr. Taylor spends lots of time and pages detailing the history leading up to the ultimate hauntings. His style is conversational; a good read.
