A MUST READ!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Several years ago I met Tracy Adkins while she was researching the stories for her first book, ‘GHOSTS OF ATHENS’.
I was honored to be interviewed for a few of those stories.
I was impressed with her desire to get the details of each story correct. Her matter of fact approach was more like a crime investigator, piecing together the historical facts and ghostly encounters to weave together wonderful tales of the supernatural.
From the first story to the last, the history and the eerie hauntings dovetail together beautifully.
Each of Tracy Adkins investigations begin with the history of the location. She then relates the incident(s) that occurred there. Finally, she tells us about the first hand accounts of unexplainable happenings or people that came face to face with heart stopping otherworldly specters at that location.
This book is an excellent read for all ages, and is entertaining for believers and nonbelievers in ghosts alike.
As someone that is fascinated with the supernatural and a lover of ghost stories, I highly recommend this book!
