Take a spirited tour through the supernatural history of America, from its haunted sites to its famous ghosts to its ghost-obsessed pop culture.

Ghosts are everywhere - whether you believe in them or not. Every town has its local legends, and countless books, movies, and television shows are haunted by their presence. But our obsession with ghosts runs deeper than we know - and is embedded in the very fabric of American history.

Writer and historian Marc Hartzman dons the mantle of tour guide, taking listeners on a fascinating journey through supernatural history, including:

  • The Fox sisters and the rise of spiritualism,
  • The supernatural obsessions of famous figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
  • Famous haunted sites like the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and the LaLaurie House in New Orleans,
  • Famous ghosts like the Bell Witch of Tennessee and the Greenbrier Ghost of West Virginia, and
  • Paranormal investigators like Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Deeply researched and highly entertaining, Chasing Ghosts will satisfy believers and skeptics alike.

There's nothing new in this book, its content is pretty similar to many other books on parapsychology, but the way it ties the history into modern beliefs and ghosts in popular culture is its strong point. The tales are presented in a very matter of fact and balanced way, presenting paranormal beliefs and skeptical explanations equally, often without forming a conclusion allowing the reader to decide for themselves. This makes the book accessible to believers and skeptic alike.

Very Good

I loved the vast variety of sources, some well known, others less so. The flow was very good, and the background research was impressive for a book that isn't particularly in depth. A good jump off point for those interested in the history of the human fascination with spiritual belief, or lack thereof.

Excellent Collection
