Book Synopsis

From best-selling author Leslie Rule comes a collection of stories about things that go bump in the night -- true accounts collected from her years of research on ghostly encounters in the United States, including revised and updated content in Rule's singular voice.

A quarter of a century ago, Leslie Rule embarked upon her quest to validate hauntings across America.She has spent the night in spirit-infested hotels, endured a bumpy ride on a haunted roller coaster, and spoken to hundreds of credible witnesses to gather material for her four bestselling nonfiction books, Coast to Coast Ghosts, Ghosts Among Us, When the Ghost Screams, and Ghost in the Mirror.

Rule's fascination with the topic was sparked by the fact that she grew up in a haunted house. She was driven by her desire to prove to herself that ghosts exist.She dove into news archives to search for accounts of long-ago deaths of people--people who matched the descriptions of the apparitions witnesses had seen at the haunted locations.Rule's books are popular not only for her historical validation of haunted sites, but for the beautiful black and white photos that accompany the stories.

Haunted in America is a collection of favorite cases culled from the first four books, with exciting updates and brand new stories.Readers will be mesmerized as Rule brings her original voice to this omnibus of chilling, true accounts of ghostly encounters.
