Usually, haunting is a private affair. The people whose homes are so afflicted generally do not want publicity, and frequently live in silence for years with their eerie secret. Often, only family and close friends are aware that something unearthly shares the home of their loved ones; invitations to outsiders may be very rare indeed. But many public places around the United States have their quota of haunts, and so must share them with their public. In Haunted Places In America, Charles A. Coulombe describes some fifty places accessible to the public, which are reputed to be haunted. The hotels, historic homes, restaurants, and outside locales are each covered with concise descriptions, and illustrated with photographs. Whether you are planning a spine-tingling trip, or just psyching yourself up for Halloween, Coulombe's haunted itinerary makes for an armchair journey worth taking. Featured sites range from McCandless Hall in Huntsville, Alabama, and The Golden North Hotel in Skagway, Alaska, to Fairlawn Mansion in Superior, Wisconsin, and the Shoshone Bar in Lovell, Wyoming.
