This book is at its best when describing the architecture of Old Louisville, the largest historic preservation district featuring Victorian buildings in the US. The author is clearly in love with the neighborhood and its gorgeous homes, courts, and parks. As for the ghost stories... Domine seems to be straining to come up with supernatural doings, although a few of the tales are eerie. For Louisvillians like myself the book will have a certain appeal, but beyond that, you'll need to be a dedicated devotee of the spectral to enjoy it. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Old Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, is the third-largest National Preservation District in the United States and the largest Victorian-era neighborhood in the country. Beneath the balconies and terraces of the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts mansions, current residents trade riveting stories about their historic homes. Many of these tales defy rational explanation. When David Dominé moved into one of these houses, he dismissed local rumors of a resident poltergeist named Lucy. However, before long, unnerving, disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors caused him to flee his home in the middle of the night. Since that night, David Dominé not only embraced the possibility of supernatural phenomenon but also turned it into a popular tour series and best-selling collection of books, which have brought new attention to this iconic neighborhood. The book that launched the guided tours, Ghosts of Old Louisville, introduced readers to the hauntingly beautiful Lady of the Stairs and the Widow Hoag, who waits eternally near Fountain Court for a lost child who will never return. These tales of things that go bump in the night not only reveal why Old Louisville is considered the "most haunted neighborhood in America," but also help to preserve this historically and architecturally significant community.
