Ghost Hunt 2

Gr 5—9—From ghostly spirits roaming Alcatraz to glowing red eyes in the woods, The Atlantic Paranormal Society (aka the popular reality television series Ghost Hunters) is back with a compilation of even more chilling and terrifying tales. Selections include a restless spirit terrorizing a house-sitting victim through her dreams, ghosts reappearing in the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ, and a saddened ghost revisiting a lighthouse where her family was eradicated long ago. At first glance, the tales read as though they were fiction. A story is given, followed by the actual ghost hunt performed by TAPS. Historical facts and actual present-day locations reveal real paranormal cases. Fans of the series will be disappointed by the fictitious names given to the actual TAPS members. However, the cliff-hangers make up for it, providing suspense and character interaction. Budding ghost hunters will learn the basics of the practice, haunting, how to debunk a real-live case by taking quizzes to test cases, and the step-by-step method of the TAPS team as it seeks to find the truth about paranormal investigations. Perfect for those who crave horror/adventure series.—Krista Welz, North Bergen Public Library, NJ
