A chilly rainy day and a chilly eerie read.

The Big Book of Pennsylvania Ghost Stories is filled with legends and tales that span the Keystone state, broken up by region. Many of the stories are from colonial times, The Revolutionary War and a few accidents and murders. It is no surprise that the Civil War has the most stories. Over 7,000 combined soldiers died over the course of 3 day in the small farm community of Gettysburg. Over 33,000 were injured. Of all the casualties only 1 civilian was killed, as she was baking bread for the soldiers in her house. If ghosts do exist, Gettysburg, with its history of blood and suffering, would be the place to find them.

I'm not saying I believe in ghosts, these stories do give good snapshots into history. From the clash between settlers and natives, the founding fathers, the growth of a nation and the building of the railway system and industry, Pennsylvania has a rich deep history.

If these historic personages were still around as ghosts, I believe they would just shake their heads at the world today and think "What a Mess, no reason to stick around here anymore."

Pennsylvania Hauntings

This is a great collection of ghost stories covering many locales in Pennsylvania. The book is organized by region and the stories are interesting. The audio book has great narration of the stories. A brief history of the locale is provided, then the major events are related and details of the haunting. Great for history buffs and paranormal fans.

My family's from Blair County so.....

I got this book based on some of the reviews, as well as my family being from well, Blair County. I did have to slow down the narrator, and it was manageable. I would agree with the other reviewer, when he said it's worth a couple listens. especially certain areas like well Blair County and Gettysburg. If you're interested in ghost stories, go ahead and take a chance on this one. You will not be disappointed, just remember to try and slow down the narrator.

Great ghost stories

Great book on the paranormal and local history of PA. Definitely worth a couple listens

Not the best

Couldn't get into this book not sure if it was the narrator or the stories just could not get into it. It took me months to get to the end.

Good stories, mediocre narration

Could've chosen a better narrator. Other than that, interesting stories of PA's haunted locations. That is all.
