Thirteen-year-old Jon and his eleven-year-old sister, Tania, are typical kids -- except for the fact that Tania can communicate with ghosts. Their mom and stepdad are producers of a ghost-hunter reality television show, but they have no idea that Tania possesses this ability -- and Tania wants to keep it that way. While filming at an old hotel in Colorado, Jon and Tania find themselves trapped in a ghostly love story that happened more than a century ago. Local legend has it that a ghost bride still wanders the hotel, waiting for her lost husband. Can this fearless brother-sister duo reunite a newlywed couple -- and put these ghosts to rest at last?

No Escaping The Horror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The stories in this collection are twisted and often blackly humorous as well as unnerving and slick. This writer has an angle of vision that is bent and his characters are the better for it.

Scare-Izona: A Travel Guide to Arizona's Spookiest Spots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book. The stories were interesting and believable. I think ghost interactions are much more subtle than you usually see on TV and in movies and Scare-Izona supports this. I also like that the authors direct you in how to conduct your own ghost investigations and don't tell you that you have to have thousands of dollars in expensive equipment. A lot of ghost "experts" make it sound like they are the only people qualified to have a ghost experience. Scare-Izona shows you that isn't true. Anyone could do it, if they were brave enough. (Which I'm not, based on some of the experiences the authors had!)
I definitely recommend this book, especially if you live in or are planning a trip to southern Arizona. Read it before you book your hotels, so you know where to go to see (or avoid) the ghosts!

Stoughton, Wisconsin's THE GRAND HOTEL LEGACY: A story of ghosts and spirits within these walls Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm one of the investigators who have spent time at the former Grand (now Vicky's shop) and can attest to the fact that the building has a fascinating history and quite a spooky present! From disembodied voices to floating dinnerware, the shop is one of those inexplicable places where you just can't explain it away. Vicky is always a great hostess and is a true font of information on the building. Buy this book, enjoy and then stop in sometime to say hi!

Our building was built in 1891 as the Hanson House and then became the Grand Hotel, two years after it was built. We have always been told by many people that a little girl cries in the basement. In the 1920's , The Grand Hotel was known as a Brothel and the king-pin of bootlegging in Stoughton. The Chief of Police, they say, committed suicide, jumping out of one of the top windows in the building. We have had things float off our shelves in front of some of our customers and Phil. We have also heard a lot of unexplained sounds like breaking glass, loud crashes, yet nothing is out of place. In this book you will read about our journey through the paranormal world we never thought we would be a part of; a journey we have really enjoyed living.

History and Mystery of the MENGER Hotel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No one writes about Texas' ghostly history like Docia Williams. Having visited the Menger, I was delighted to find Docia's fascinating account of the "life and times" of this venerable old hotel. After providing a short history of the Menger family and early construction, Docia jumps right into the personalities that make this 140-year-old hotel so unique. The Menger's guest list has included Ulysses S. Grant, Gen. Sam Houston, Bob Hope, John Wayne, and the list goes on and on. Read about Teddy Roosevelt's 1898 recruitment of the Rough Riders in the Menger Bar (and the ghostly recruitment that frightened a recent Menger employee). Enjoy the account of Captain Richard King, owner of the famed million-acre Texas King Ranch. A resident guest, the 60-year-old rancher died in his suite in 1885; apparently he liked the accomodations, because he still returns now and again for visits.
Of equal interest are the personal recollections of Asst. Gen. Mgr. Ernesto Malacaro who has dealt with some memorable guests in his 20+ years with the hotel. In a brief chapter titled "Specialties of the Past" the author serves up some interesting tidbits about long past dining experiences at the Menger. Mr. Menger raised his own hogs and was very proud of his cured bacon, pork chops, etc. One of his animals weighed over 1,000 pounds and was nearly seven feet long!
The final chapters cover ghostly manifestations including Sallie White (murdered in 1876), the Confederate officer on the patio, the portly apparition of a maitre d' in the Colonial Dining Room, phantom chambermaids, and others. Read about the woman who awoke to find a male ghost grinning at her from the foot of her bed; the woman and her husband moved to a newer section of the hotel after the ghost "got frisky and tried to pull the bedcovers off her."
In addition to the various stories, Docia Williams includes photographs taken of the hotel and its notable guests throughout the years. This book is a Texas treasure trove of historical fact and trivia from the mid-1850's to the present. It will be a valued part of your library.
