I enjoyed this book, sort of. I really loved the stories, one of my favorite being the story of Martha Hill and her creepy painting. The stories are vivid with history and horror, but some times the writing felt a little repetative. The book was more like an ad for tourism than a passion for the paranormal. And I really hated it at the end hen it totally got off subject of ghosts and southern spirirts and began talking of UFO's (I can't stand aliens). So the last two stories I skipped altogether for the most part. But I give it three stars because the history was rich and the spookiness of these strange, mysterious places make me want to visit the south really, really badly.
