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.

Review:
This book hooked me from the introduction and I can't seem to put it down, even when I should be working on my own writing. A clever blend of wit and history, Ghosts of Salem captures the essence of a town and its people from both the present and the past.
The pictures draw you in and the author's attention to detail breathes life into every page. I could feel the chill of a specter's presence looking over my shoulder as I read about the different locals. I'm still in the throws of this magnificent book and I can't imagine a better way to start my Halloween season than reading some witchy facts about this fascinating city.
5/5
