16. Coast to Coast Ghosts by Leslie Rule


BOOK REVIEW: Coast to Coast Ghosts by Leslie Rule

As a kid germinating from a well-sown book bed, I read anything and everything I could get my hands on. However, one genre that piqued my curiosity and interest was the supernatural. I have an (sadly) incomplete collection of True Singapore Ghost Stories, volume after volume of Stephen King’s macabre horror literature and the list goes on and on.

Who can resist a good ghost story...the kind that gives you goose bumps, makes your hair stand on end and leaves you terrified of the dark? Raise your translucent hands (did I just smell a whiff of jasmine with the sighting of fingers of a woman in mid-air?).

Coast to Coast Ghosts is filled with black-and-white photographs and real-life spine-tinglers that take you on a nationwide journey to places where the dead refuse to rest, from Seattle to San Diego and from New Orleans to Key West.

By interviewing credible witnesses, historians and renowned parapsychologists, as well as researching forgotten library archives, the author has validated sighting after sighting.


This is a book that you won’t soon forget...no matter how hard you might try. The pictures captured on cameras of a spectral being or the written dialogues of an invisible being that were portrayed in abundance in the book is something not to be pondered upon. If you are looking for something to read under the blanket on a cold Saturday midnight with all the lights off (except for your booklight), shiver on as you read (someone’s watching you.....)
