About the Book
Boasting photographs, fun facts, and visitor information, this unique (and spooky) travel guide showcases the 15 most haunted places in America. Each chapter is laid out in an easy-to-read format and includes fascinating history and documented paranormal activities. The tour includes the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, where experimental lobotomies were performed and it is believed that many of tormented spirits are still roaming around; Moon River Brewing Company, where no one is allowed to go to the top floor because of the ghost that resides there; Shanghai Tunnels, where men and women were kidnapped and forced into servitude, the poor souls of whom are now encountered on visitor tours; the Pirates' House, where pirate ghosts still demand rum; and Ohio State Reformatory, where prisoners remain incarcerated even though it has been closed for a long time. The information about each site includes addresses, tips, accessibility, and websites.
