Overview
Each region of the U.S. has its fair share of hauntings, but maybe none more so than New England. There, the ghosts of accused witches linger in Salem. Haunted hotels are scattered throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Tormented spirits reign over what was once Danvers State Hospital. New England is as rich in ghosts as it is in history. Between these pages, readers will find just the right amount of scariness for a cold, dark night.

Reviews
"This series examines paranormal phenomena in the context of history, adding a mysterious air to already fascinating events and famous locations. These engaging, well-written accounts detail famous places (and a person); a broad spectrum of U.S. sites are featured. Readers are challenged to explain the phenomena discussed. Atmospheric black-and-white and color photos and artwork enhance the text, supplemented by informative captions. Maps are included where needed. ""Freaky Fact"" sidebars share additional details and occasionally pose questions. Phantom Soldiers and Salem's Spirits include time lines. The back matter in each book contains a list and a map of haunted places cited and other locations in the area. Some titles provide statistical charts, such as the percentage of Americans who believe in ghosts. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries. History and ghost buffs will be pleased. Strongest titles: Aaron Burr's Ghost; Salem's Spirits; Strange Sights in the White House.--Carol Goldman, formerly at Queens Public Library, NY ""School Library Journal"""
