2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. perfect for a "midnight dreary" in OctoberBy Jennifer ChichesterI admit that I should have purchased this book sooner; as I did happen to make a small contribution to a chapter. It is well worth any price that you pay. Allow me a few brief paragraphs to explicate:The information is nothing short of thorough; and the assumed hours-upon-hours of data retrieval is evident. For example; I was quite impressed with the depth of the real backstory of the Michigan Bell/ATT Building murder-suicide haunting. The all-too-familiar story of domestic violence between the "Randalls" is explained as; yes; having happened on this property to a couple only a few years wed. The description of the crime scene and events leading up to the murder-suicide are coherent and remind the reader of the reality of this atrocity. The facts are presented with a touch of personal perspective; which does not lead one to sense a biased perspective from the authors; instead; it creates a triangular bond between the reader; authors; and the deceased couple.Many of the haunts described are quite popular local lore; but some of them are not much discussed. Supplementing the Hells Bridge story (much of which appears fabricated regarding the existence of Elias Friske - something Friske family members deny to this day) are details regarding actual documented deaths that have occurred in the Algoma Township area. This prompts the authors to question whether or not these events play into the paranormal phenomena being reported and recorded at Hells Bridge.Overall; this book is a delightful (though perhaps too short for this readers taste; this is my only qualm; I swear) read; perfect for a "midnight dreary" in October.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointedBy zonagirlThis was more about crime; not the paranormal. There is enough material; it could have been good. Disappointed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Thoroughly researchedBy Frank FinDont expect an edge-of-your seat; Amityville Horror-type of sensationalized recounting of urban myths and legends; this is a much more fact-based narrative that includes a lot of historic back-story. The authors spent a great deal of time going through public records; city history; and census records to deliver an extremely interesting account of haunted Grand Rapids. Just wish it was a bit longer!
