Synopsis: Join the campfire crowd as you read about a spookier side of Pittsburgh. Meet disappearing students and witness bursting light fixtures at Washington & Jefferson College. Phone calls from the dead prove that the Steel City is filled with ghostly phenomena. Hear an eerie dead child's voice and ghastly growling noises at the St. Patrick's Cemetery in Oakdale. See shadowy figures at the psychiatric hospital in Bridgeville. Learn that ghosts have sleepovers in the towns of Bedford, Scenery Hill, and Harmony.

Review: Not only does this get a "Do Not Recommend" rating, it's probably the most poorly written book I have ever read. The ghost stories are told in a conversational tone that quite possibly was never read by another prior to publication. I am 100% confident my 9th grader has better writing skills.

This is one of those books that makes you wonder how some people get published, and why you haven't been yet. 

Really awful.

The stories themselves. . .most weren't any I hadn't heard before, but again, the writing is is so distracting, good luck hanging in there for the stories.
