Ghosts of Salem by Sam Baltrusis Review!

Synopsis

Nestled on the rocky coast of Massachusetts, Salem is a city steeped with history and legend. Famously known for its witch trials, the historic North Shore seaport also has a dark history of smugglers and deadly fires. It is considered to be one of New England's most haunted destinations. Inside Howard Street Cemetery, the ghost of accused witch Giles Corey wanders among the gravestones. Outside the Ropes Mansion the ghost of Abigail Ropes can be seen peeking out of the windows. The Gardner-Pingree House on Essex Street is host to the spirit of sea captain Joseph White, a man whose murder in 1830 inspired literary giants like Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Join author and paranormal journalist Sam Baltrusis on a chilling journey through the streets of Salem as he chronicles the historic haunts of the Witch City.

 My Thoughts

The Ghosts of Salem is part of the Haunted America Series. Salem Massachusetts has always intrigued me, there have been numerous explanations for what happened and why were all these people persecuted. Ghosts of Salem explores different haunted areas in and around Salem Massachusetts. The chapters include Cemetery Haunts where the oldest and most visited graveyard is the Myles Standish Burial Ground dating back to 1620. It appears that the older the cemetery, the more spirits are wont to lingering. Among other haunted places in Salem is the Gardner-Pingree House which is considered a "murder house". Then there is the Old Salem Jail, the site of fifty hangings, can you imagine the spirits that are there? There is the Joshua Ward House, some claim it is Salem's most active site for ghosts.

There is so much more to read in this book, it is a fast read though and well researched, I read it in one afternoon. There are also pictures included in the book so you kind of get the idea and can imagine what goes on in these places. I just love reading about this kind of stuff so when the opportunity came to review it, I jumped at the chance. I enjoyed this book tremendously and you will too!! Be ready to be creeped out!

I was given this book for review and was not monetarily compensated for said review.
