I almost didn't want to start reading this book after dark, but I needed something to get the adrenaline going so I wouldn't doze off too early only to wake up an hour later and then be up all night. This book wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, but it was definitely interesting enough to let me get a second wind. There was only really one story that gave me the chills, so it's a pretty tame book on ghost stories since the true-life stories like this one are usually a lot creepier for me than the fictional ones. The only thing I found annoying with the book was the forward by Anne Rule as a cheap marketing ploy to help sell her daughter's book.

I've even actually seen one of the places mentioned in the book, Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, MN, but have never actually been in it.
