The World's Most Haunted Places - Paperback

by Jeff Belanger (Author)

"Nobody in the paranormal knows ghosts like Jeff Belanger. Reading The World's Most Haunted Places may just be the closest you'll come to going on an investigation without actually being there." --Nick Groff, from the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures

Now with new material for this updated edition, The World's Most Haunted Places reveals that ghostly legends abound wherever history has made its mark. Battlefields, prisons, asylums, national monuments--all of them have stories to tell. Discover the places and tales that will send a chill down your spine.

• President Lincoln has been walking the halls of the White House in Washington, DC, for more than a century.
• The Queen Mary may just be the most storied and haunted ship on the planet.
• The catacombs of Paris contain the skeletal remains of six million bodies . . . and many of their ghosts.
• The Tower of London is haunted by noblemen and commoners--some still searching for the heads they lost more than five hundred years ago.

Take a world tour of history, the supernatural, and the macabre, including the story of America's first ghost investigation more than two hundred years ago. You will explore libraries, museums, restaurants, inns, and landmarks from North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. This new edition includes five all-new chapters and updates throughout.

Haunted places do more than whisper--they cry out for attention because they still have something to tell us. But be careful: The World's Most Haunted Places may make you a believer!
