Synopsis

It should come as no surprise that one of the nation's oldest cities brims with spirits of those who lived and died in its hundreds of years of tumultuous history.

Boston, Massachusetts, boasts countless stories of the supernatural. Many students at Boston College have encountered an unearthly hound that haunts O'Connell House to this day. Be on the watch for an actor who sits in on rehearsals at Huntington Theatre and restless spirits rumored to haunt Boston Common at night. From the Victorian brownstones of Back Bay to the shores of the Boston Harbor Islands, author Sam Baltrusis makes it clear that there is hardly a corner of the Hub where the paranormal cannot be experienced as he breathes new life into the tales of the long departed.

Spoiler alert: a lot of the places and buildings mentioned in this book do not appear to actually be haunted. And this, according to the author himself. Many are of interest historically, but most stories or rumors associated with these spots are systematically debunked in the book, an honest but od......more

Goodreads review by Lori on June 21, 2019

This book should have been right up my alley - I love the paranormal and I’m from Boston - but sadly, it wasn’t. It’s taken me 6 months to read this because it was just really uninteresting. As someone before me said, this book is dying for some good editing. On a positive note, the author does do r......more
