They Say.....The Story Goes.......By Parker AndersonI hate to knock a book that contains a story about a haunted Pizza Hut. but I found this to be disappointing. considering the publishers usually excellent track record. It is certainly readable for the casual enthusiast. but for serious researchers. this does not deliver the goods. There is very little documentation for any of the stories; no eyewitness accounts. no substantiation for any of the tragic events that purportedly happened at these locations. Instead. the phrases "They say". "Legend has it". "The story goes". and variations of these are used literally dozens of times in the text of this book. These phrases are always a red flag to serious historians. and almost always denote that the ensuing stories probably never happened.Too bad; this title comes across as leftovers from Dr. Browns other books......probably anecdotes he picked up along the way. and decided to get another book out of them. There is not necessarily anything wrong with this. but....... Bottom line. the book is a fun read on a dark night. but for serious researchers of ghost lore. it disappoints.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
