While it doesn't cover all of New England, the author, a paranormal investigator who has written extensively about ghostly travels, has visited many of the sites he covers in this book. You'll read about haunted spots to visit in Salem, Mystic, The Berkshires, Portsmouth, Newport, and locations nearby. With an emphasis on the historical buildings, the author provides lots of brief stories of local murders and tragedies, visits to historical cemeteries. and stories of paranormal encounters. Once you get in the mindset of the author telling you of his travels, which often include a paranormal investigation that ends in "nothing happened while we were there," it's fun. ( )
