Fascinating book about ghosts and the history of Seattle as well!

This is a decent book for stories around Seattle. I have verified several of them through other research and even talked a little about them in my UW campus tours.

Very historic (=boring), the author covers the basic history of Seattle. He never bothers to interview people/witnesses and seems to live behind a computer screen (no original photos). Anyone could make this book if they had a few extra hours on their hands and access to the King County Library. Just go ahead and read the same stuff on Shadowlands.

Liked it.

I really enjoyed reading this book and the fact that I can use it as a guide if I ever want to explore some of the spookier "haunts" in Seattle.

Still reading it. Good so far.

If you havent been, you must go to Seattle - a fabulous place. An absolute must is to take the "Spooked in Seattle" walking tour - it is excellent.
