Wonderful Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I've read a lot of these true haunted and ghost story books, and this is one of the very best. It's not only a collection of documented ghost sightings and legends, but it also acts as a social history of Illinois. In fact, you can learn much about Illinois' history from reading this book. The author is a great researcher and a good writer. I can't imagine someone not liking this book. The only complaint is the tiny print. I understand that the book is crammed with info, but the small print does make it difficult to read.
Devoted Illinoisan who loves this book!

This was my second experience with Troy Taylor (the first being "Season of the Witch"). A wonderful piece of Illinois history, with true accounts and some very decent photos. I could not put it down! Anyone who is interested in the ghostly doings of the Prairie State simply must read this book. One and only one complaint - the editing leaves much to be desired, too many spelling, grammar, and typo errors - but I still give it 5 stars for content and downright enjoyment!

Troy Taylor is the best writer in the ghost hunter's genre I have seen in years. His books are complete and not filled with usless rhetoric.Haunted Illinois is his best work to date. Almost 300 pages of spine tingling stories of actual happenings. If you want fiction, read Poe and Lovecraft. If you want REAL fear and terror, read Troy Taylor!
Best New Ghost Book I Have Seen In Years!

A very good source of Haunted places in Ill, and all have been thoroughly investigated, not just photographed! This is the best documentation of Ill hauntings since Chicago Haunts, by Ursual Bielski...another good read!!!
