Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, I am a grown man. But I look a good tale, and I like regional "ghost" books because I have not found a lighter way to get a dose of regional history and insights into the lives of people living in an area across the decades. There are some good titles in the genre, and the greats will inject all of the flavor of the time and region into a local legend about, for example, a moaning house or a glowing ship or whatever. And, like every "good" book, the craftsmanship of the writer matters.
This book wasn't what I was looking for. There is some local Savannah history and flavor, but not enough. This is primarily a log of one woman's journey to find a ghost (she never does) with the help of her psychic sidekick. The writing is, for the most part, mere quotes of the various homeowners who submitted to be interviewed, most of whom fell into the "well, I don't believe in ghosts, but sometimes the toliet upstairs flushes all by itself" variety (sidebar - such a hygiene oriented ghost would be handy at airport lavatories and rest areas). Usually, said homeowner allowed the ghost-hunting duo to look around, a quest that typically yielded nothing more than the requesite cold spot or sense of a playful little girl from the other world.
Didn't like it.
