Reader Reviews
James Caskey leads ghost tours in Savannah and from what I have found in this book he takes the extra time to research the stories that he tells both on his tour and in his book. After reading this book I really wish that I were physically able to handle walking tours because I would really love to go on Mr. Caskey's ghost walk. This man knows his stuff and he knows how to tell a story. On our next trip to Savannah I hope that my family can take his tour so that they can tell me all about it. Savannah is a very old city and it has certainly faced its share of tragedy from wars to fires to disease, and tragedy often brings on ghosts. There is indeed a very spiritual feeling to this city and it is a place that I have come to love. As you sit in one of the beautiful squares or stroll down River Street the history, charm, atmosphere and yes the ghosts seem to be all around you. Those who have never visited this city don't know what they are missing. Because of the haunted reputation of Savannah there are numerous books to be found on the subject of the city and its ghosts but this book outshines all of the rest that I have come across so far. Besides the author's talent as a narrator of stories it is the basic research and footwork that he has done that makes this book so special. These ghostly accounts are filled with first person and recent eyewitness accounts and that is what separates a book of ghost stories from a book filled with old legends that have very little basis in fact. As an added bonus Mr. Caskey has taken the time to debunk some of these very legends and point out that despite what you might hear on some less authentic tours some of the tales told are just not true. He has even gone to the trouble of searching through old records to determine the age of some of the haunted buildings in Savannah and has sought to verify various claims about where some of the haunting began. Very few authors of this type of book take this kind of historical approach and I found it very refreshing and interesting. He doesn't let the history overwhelm the ghost story and his history is correct and I respect and appreciate that. If I were to recommend one book about the hauntings of Savannah to someone who was about to visit that lovely city or to someone who just liked a good ghost book this would be the one. It is exceptionally well written, highly interesting and well documented. There are a few stories that sort of stray from the subject but those stories are kept to a minimum and clearly reflect the author's love for his city. I am very impressed with this author and I hope that this isn't his last book. I will be on the lookout for more.
