Very Interesting, easy read ....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Being from "PA Dutch County" I find these superstitions and traditions fascinating and intriguing (and some are still continued). The only thing I found slightly bothersome about this book was entire passages written in with strong Dutch accents--I understand that is how the person talked in "real life" but it was very hard to read and bothersome to "decipher"--esp. when it went on for paragraphs. But, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone--worth the money!

Tales of supernatural terror, hauntings, revenge of the dead upon the living and more make for spooky and captivating reading, sure to keep one awake late at night!
