We love visiting Colonial Williamsburg and wanted to know some of the haunted houses in the area. We were so happy to find this book. Such great detail and information for our next trip to Colonial Williamsburg.

Very interesting. I loved the writing and the pictures really were great. I really enjoyed learning the history of the area and the photos were so amazing. I would recommend this book.

It's clear that the author has knowledge of local history reading this book, so it's not just a ghost hunter chasing ghosts in hope of catching them in photos. Some of the photos might be a bit underwhelming, while others were pretty good.

I admire the authors knowledge of history and his insiders view of Williamsburg, but I agree with other reviewers opinions of the ghost photos, they are laughable.
Everyone looks the same, kind of like a bad Picasso painting, with a thin nose and strange features. Maybe that's what ghosts look like? Unconvincing and absurd.

A great read about Colonial Williamsburg’s history and ghost sightings. Without visiting the area you got a good idea of what it is like and the background to each sighting. Great for people interested in local history and the paranormal.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Schiffer Publishing and the author, Tim Scullion, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Haunted Historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
It is clear to see that the author has a passion for the history of Colonial Williamsburg. It shines through on every page.
I was fascinated by the stories and thought this book provided a good read.
Well worth a read.

It's very clear that Tim Scullion has a passion for history and the paranormal. This is a well researched book, with stories of Colonial Williamsburg that only a true history buff would know.

While the photos are sometimes comical, I admire Tim's passion and drive to document each and everything that he saw.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

If you are going to Colonial Williamsburg, then you need this book. It’s written by someone who used to be tour guide for that area! So many interesting facts about the places twisted with ghosts photos!

I have always had a fascination with the past, and the idea that it has somehow imprinted itself on the present is even more intriguing. I’m not sure I believe in ghosts, but I do believe there is more in our world than we truly understand. Scullion’s book is so good because he’s done such an excellent job of research, this is not a “I’ve seen a woman in white walking down the road” book. Readers will learn the historical significance of each location or spirit, putting the reports of a haunting in perspective. Whether you believe in ghosts or just want to learn some fascinating history, you will enjoy this well written book

I was a little underwhelmed by some of the pictures. There were some very interesting ones but many of them just didn't strike me as absolutely being ghosts or spirits.
