Summary: I loved it!
Review: All four books that Mark has written about the Ghosts of Gettysburg are wonderful. I love his writing style. Every time I walk through the streets of Gettysburg on a cool evening, I catch myself looking back over my shoulder at houses that I have passed...Is there a face in that window?

Summary: Ghostly gems.
Review: All of these ghostly tales are little gems, and they're great for retelling. You'll find yourself not only immersed in ghosts but a little American history to boot. My hat's off to Mark Nesbitt. Well done!

Summary: Haunting, chilling and entertaining to read!!
Review: Former Park Ranger Mark Nesbitt has over the years gathered many ghost stories from other park rangers, visitors and people who live in the area. Nesbitt tries to gather factual data on the stories he receives so he can offer a background as to why these ghost stories may have evolved. His stories are usually quite interesting and do not just talk about battlefield soldiers, civilians alike are also involved in famous ghost stories in Gettysburg! Buy all 5 books, there worth it! Each has many short stories that are easy and fun to read.

Summary: Ghostly gems.
Review: The subtitle for this review should be re-enacters the great story spinners! In the chapter A Wrinkle In Time, Nesbitt relates a story that I've heard many times from Civil War Re-enactors. It happens in different places on the battlefield to different people but essentially the story is always of meeting a lone soldier who gives them two live rounds of ammunition, walks off and then fades away. Of course, the rounds prove to be authentic! This story is either a well-crafted battlefield legend or a very expensive practical joke. A ghost cannot hand over something that no longer exists in this time period. If this were possible, I'd have our ghost loot his own time and have an apartment full of antiques, heck I'd open up a shop! There's also a story where a ghost is referred to as a poltergeist, which does mean noisy ghost, only a poltergeist is really an energy force coming from a living person not a ghost. This volume is as well written as the first volume. While his historical research is topnotch, his paranormal understanding leaves a bit to be desired. Still it is an intriguing read and well worth the monetary investment!
