American Hauntings	Book	0/0	No Comments
By Mary Beth Sammons
Overview by TheCabinet: Co-authors Mary Beth Sammons and Robert Edwards have compiled this collection of over 100 reportedly haunted locations throughout the United States. Not every state is covered, while others like California have countless locations listed, but it does offer a good overview of reported accounts throughout the United States. Locations vary from the Bell Witch Cave Farm (though the cave is hardly mentioned in favor of the story that took place on different grounds), Fort Delaware State Park, and the McRaven House. The chapters are broken up by locale type, but there is a decent index at the back that lists the locations by state. Each location features a quick snippet about the history and folklore, as well as address and contact information. Given the abbreviated accounts inside, further research might be required for folks interested in learning more about a given location. However, its scope and coverage is admirable with more than a few locations that are generally overlooked in books of these type.

Cemetery Stories: Haunted Graveyards, Embalming Secrets, and the Life of a Corpse After Death	Book	0/0	No Comments
By Katherine Ramsland
Overview by TheCabinet: This book is not so much a travel guide as it is interesting and sometimes disturbing stories about cemeteries, the life of a corpse, and the business of death. Topics covered include everything from autopsy, society traditions, funeral directors, and morticians to more scandalous accounts of graverobbing, ghosts, necrophilia, or ritual abuse. Locations include The Body Farm, Knoxville, TN, Body Worlds, The Museum of Death, as well actual cemeteries like Old Westminster Burial Ground. The stories of life in the "death" business can sometimes include rather short snippets or cross over to the very disturbing and grotesque without much warning. Since it is more interested in telling the stories, there are no indexes pointing to the locations mentioned and the chapters are more about general themes than what stops might be included. In order to read about a particular locale in the book, the reader is forced to thumb through page by page until they find it and more research is required if they plan on visiting a location mentioned inside. However, it is a fascinating take on the lesser-known aspects of the industry and the sometimes gruesome practices required for bodies to be preserved just for funeral services.

Cinema Salem - A Cinematic Guide to the Witch City	Book	0/0	No Comments
By Peter Mac
Overview by Tom G: This is Peter Mac's compendium of movies and television shows that were either set in or actually filmed on location in Salem, Massachusetts. It provides a synopsis of each film or TV show along with information on the production and reactions from the local Salem community. Sometimes the book provides exact addresses for shooting locations, but at other times only provides general details on location. Further research on the part of the reader will be needed to nail down some specific locations. At 348 pages, the book provides a good deal of information as well as detailed plot synopsis. The book is very readable despite a huge number of misspellings. The movies covered range from the silent era through modern day. The book also has a small section dealing specifically with Salem tourism. Locations discussed in the book include The House of Seven Gables, The Hawthorne Hotel and Lappin Park.

City Ghosts: True Tales of Hauntings in America's Cities	Book	0/0	No Comments
By Mary Beth Sammons, Robert Edwards
Overview by TheCabinet: This particular book has carved out something of a unique niche. It focuses completely on reputedly haunted locations in the major metropolitan cities of the United States and bypasses the more rural tales. Even better, in addition to the ghost stories of the over 30 cities, it even includes information on the local ghost tours and walks in each city if available (and it typically is). Locations include such stops as The Seelbach Hilton, Ford's Theatre National Historical Site, and the Tennessee State Capitol. The chapters are broken up by region and city and a helpful index breaks down each location in a given city - making it quick and easy to find what you are looking for. In addition to a quick write-up on the history and reports of paranormal activity, the addresses, phone numbers, Web sites, and/or e-mail address of each location are included for easy reference. The write-ups can be short, so more research may be required, but overall the book is an excellent guide to reported haunted hot spots of the major cities of the United States.
