Resumen del Editor

The most haunted neighborhood in America? That's what many are calling Old Louisville, an extensive preservation district with hundreds of old mansions and beautiful homes in Kentucky's largest city. Wherever you go in this eye-popping neighborhood, it seems that a haunted house is not far away. Or a haunted church, a haunted street corner, or a haunted park. Over the last decade, so many stories of paranormal activity have surfaced that Old Louisville has gained the reputation as being one of the spookiest locations in the country. David Dominé discovered this for himself after purchasing an old home on Old Louisville's famed Millionaires Row in 1999.

A self-proclaimed skeptic, the food writer dismissed rumors of a mischievous resident poltergeist named Lucy when he moved in, but he quickly found himself at a loss to explain the disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors that seemed to plague the old house. Soon, he was talking to neighbors and fellow homeowners, and it seemed that everyone had stories of strange events and supernatural occurrences in their own dwellings. As a result, David set out to document and research these reports and began writing about the neighborhood; in the process he uncovered a wealth of fascinating history and ghostly tales that convinced him this historic neighborhood is like no other in the country. If you liked David Dominé's Ghosts of Old Louisville series, you'll love True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood. Edited and updated, this collection brings together the most popular and chilling tales from his previous books about one of the most fascinating neighborhoods in the country.

Very interesting...

I love ghost stories and this book delivered. I liked how the author narrated the stories into his daily life. Like in one of the stories, he went walking with his dogs and in the coffee shop met an older gentleman who started telling him a ghost story. I've never been to Louisville, Ky, but would love to go visit for one of it's ghost tours. Will look for other books by this author.

wonderful book with an abundance of information a

I loved it, it was great to listen to as I work. now I'm intetested I visiting old Louisville.

Pretty Good Story

There was a lot of history behind the ghosts which was interesting. I could have done without all of the food descriptions, took away from the ghosts. Still, not a bad story.

Good Stories

There were certainly some ghostly and interesting things in this book. However some of it was a bit bland. Overall it was worth purchasing.

authentic to traditional ghost stories

I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned ghost story and loved the authors historical background findings for each story.

Fun!

Loved the Kentucky derby scene plus ghosts. Kind of want a mint julep right now!

Buy This Book - You'll Love it!

I think I'd rather read this book.

I think this book would be better read. the narrator was too flat for me kind of sounded like a computer voice. I couldn't concentrate on the stories.

exceptional

i absolutely loved this. Well written and astonishing performance! 5 stars! I highly recommend to all who love ghost stories and history..

Good story, narration is not a good fit.

I enjoyed the book, however the narration is not only very flat and monotone, but at 1x speed seems way too fast. I turned it down to .9x and was more comfortable in my listening. Still, there are times when the narration makes it feel like I'm listening to a textbook.
