Haunted Heartland (1985 original; edició 1985)

I can't speak towards the entire collection of short stories from across the midwest but I saw a paperback copy of this book in a B&N back in about 1998 and was struck by one of the very stories that were whispered about on my college campus at the time. I also experienced a disturbance referenced at one of the locations in the story while living on campus. I have since found original newspapers from the 1920's, 1950's, and 1970's that were referenced in the story. The story in this book is almost exactly as whispered by students back in the 1990's on campus and corroborated in newsprint...

This was a bunch of short stories about haunted places. It is written in documentary form (which I dislike very much). The only thing that saved this from being 1 star is the fact that there were a few really good stories. ( )

It's interesting, but I don't think there's enogh evidence to prove that much of it is real. I just kept thinking the whole time, who told her that? Maybe I'm just cynical... ( )

1966 Haunted Heartland, by Beth Scott & Michael Norman (read 16 Dec 1985) This is a collection of ghost stories, but written chattily, with no effort to be investigative. It was not worth reading. ( )
