A scary book full of ghost stories from every state. Some are scarier than others, but they are all pretty interesting.

Haunted America takes you on a grand tour of ghostly hauntings through the U.S. and Canada,sweeping from terrifying battlefield specters at Little Bighorn to a vaudville palace in Tampa,from ghostly apparitions in President Garfield's home in Ohio to the White House in Washington D.C.
I bought this book to read about haunted places in the different states I've lived in. There are several tales that still stand out-mostly from Louisiana-that voodoo thing! But each state, the District of Columbia and several Canadian provinces each have their own chilling tales to tell. Not all are old legends-some happened in the 1980's and 1990's. I don't proclaim to believe every story-bit this will be interesting for the brave readers out there!
Very interesting book about a bunch of different hauntings.
