As the subtitle implies, Ghosthunting Pennsylvania is not so much a collection of Pennsylvania ghost stories, but a compendium of haunted places in the State. Some, like Gettysburg, are to be expected, while others, like the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, are places not normally associated with haunting.

I’ve been to some of the places mentioned, McConnell’s Mill and Gettysburg to name two, and this book validates some of the feelings I’ve had traveling around Pennsylvania. This is an old state, so I was not surprised to find so many likely candidates for paranormal adventuring. I was surprised, though, to find that Pennsylvania leads the nation in reports of Thunderbirds, a phenomenon I previously associated with the people of the Plains or Southwest.

If you want someplace with a little different adventure for your vacation, you might want to acquire this guide. I plan to visit some of the places I have not made it to yet. If you are wanting more in depth ghost stories, you may be disappointed. If you believe and want to explore likely places on your own, this book will come in handy for you!

Four stars for being very readable, very informative and current. I only wish there were more places and more stories. ( )
