Editorial Reviews

It should surprise no one that ghosts were first photographed in Boston. There seems to be something especially paranormal about this city of witches and séance-loving Brahmins. Christopher Forest's Boston's Haunted History takes you down dark, eerie corridors and into the inner sanctums of spectral visitations.
