Do you believe in ghosts? If you answered no, you may want to rethink your answer. Haunted History: America's Most Haunted, based on the Haunted History television show, which airs on the History Channel, has various reports of ghost sightings. This book will take you to New England, New Orleans, Louisiana, Tombstone, Arizona, The Rocky Mountains, and Hollywood, California.

Do you think that witch burnings in New England was a big, I mean BIG, mistake? Think voodoo is crazy? Then you might want to read this book and judge for yourself.

Ever wonder why Tombstone is called "The Town too Tough to Die"? Maybe because all the people from it's past Never left. Ghosts in the Rocky Mountains? In our own back yard? Yeah right! If you said that, you're completely wrong. If you've ever been to the Molly Brown House, then you've probably seen a ghost. A woman with brown hair is said to wander around and enter tour groups.
Hollywood: where all the movies are made and the movie stars reside. You might see Tom Hanks, Tim Allen or Lisa Ling. And then you might see Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe or Rudolph Valentino. Why? Because they wanted to keep acting, even after dying.

I really like the America's Most Haunted: The Ultimate Challenge. This is a ghost quiz. It will test your knowledge of all things paranormal. I also like the pictures. There are 8 photos included. They add an even creepier sense to this book.

I think this book is for kids 10 and up because there are sscared me, and I'm 11. Now do you believe in ghosts (January, 2003)
