Good ghost reading

I really liked Leslie Rule's Coast to Coast Ghosts. Makes me want to visit the places she's investigated. Look forward to reading more of her work. Good personal writing style.

Great Variety of Haunting Experiences

Leslie did a wonderful job of giving the reader not only true ghost stories, but a great variety of them, in differing catagories and from many points of view.

I contributed one of my own, and she has included it in her book , (the haunted piano on page 212. I have always been a fan and an avid reader of true ghost stories as a child into my adult years. This is one of the best compiled grouping I have come across.

Chilled to the bone!

COAST TO COAST GHOSTS kept me turning the pages well into the morning's wee hours! The chilling and fascinating accounts that Ms. Rule chronicled were like no others I've read. I was especially impressed with her thorough research. For instance, Rule uncovered the scandal behind the famed haunted San Diego Whaley House--a scandal that so shocked the museum curators that they have kept it hidden from the public for over a century. Rule gave detailed reports on the shocking events, along with identitfying a new Whaley ghost! (I won't spoil the suspense!)

As for the photography! Superb! I've been following Leslie Rule's work for years as her courtroom photography appeared in the books of her mother (True crime author Ann Rule).

All I can say is I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!!

superb storytelling style

"Coast to Coast Ghosts" will draw you in immediately with Leslie Rule's easy, conversational style and with the dramatic pictures she took at various haunted sites all over the US. If you take the attitude, "There ain't no such thing as a ghost", Rule's book may make you re-examine your thinking. Remember that a corollary of Einstein's breakthrough relativity theory is that time and space are not linear; instead they are relative to each other, and linked in ways that are yet beyond our understanding.
Both fun and fascinating, this book is a marvelous addition to the literature of the paranomal in America. Skeptics will be intrigued, and believers will be delighted. Highly recommended!

Light, Light Reading

This book provides an hour's worth of amusing reading. Though the author of the work is personable enough and the book's layout and design is clean (and nice to hold in the hand and look at), I had the sneaking suspicion that this collection was written more for teens than adults. The author gives us handy lists in side-bars about how to get rid of ghosts, how to tell if your house is haunted, and other goodies, but she does not go into detail when detail is most called for, especially in cases where the hauntings are well known and well documented. She merely mentions that this or that happened at such and such a time and then quickly--and sometimes abruptly--speeds on to the next story or the next section of stories. This gives the book a "light" touch that is often a bit too light. Another thing that I sorely missed is a good bibliography at the end of the book. Entertaining? Yes. Informative? Somewhat. The photographs are good though "informative" shots appear to lose out in favor of "evocative."
