Book Reviews of The Iowa Road Guide to Haunted Locations
Book Review: Your Travel Agent for Spooky Road Trips
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another installment in the haunted "road guide" series. The entries include detailed directions to find the site and investigate for yourself. I enjoy reading the details on what's been reported, the section on the background history, and the results of the authors' on-site investigations. I also like that there are photos of each site. Some of the sites are definitely quite interesting, like the various blue and black angels around the state.
One interesting detail that is not included in the book - about the Porter House in Decorah, Iowa - I was at this location recently and the tour guide happened to mention that Grace Porter's wake was held in the ground floor parlor, in the same room where she had been married. However, the tour guide didn't mention anything about hauntings and it was only later, when I arrived home and read this book, that I realized that it was supposed to be a haunted location.
When I was a teenager, we used to sit around late at night telling ghost stories, and sometimes we would all pile into the car to drive out into the countryside to sneak a peek at some spooky statue or location at a lonely cemetery. (A favorite was the "Moving Mary" statue in a cemetery near Montevideo, MN.) This book seems like the perfect companion for such adventures. I eagerly await the next installment in the series.
