Book Reviews of Field Guide to Haunted Graveyards (Haunted Field Guide Series, Book 4)
Book Review: Morbid, but Fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this book specifically for the "Researching Cemetery History" section. I first became interested in researching cemeteries when I was researching my own family tree and had to spend many hours perusing old cemeteries and historical records. I became very interested in old grave markers and wanted to know more about them and the people they represent. I don't research cemeteries for hauntings - I'm just interested in the history. I'm a fan of Troy Taylor because he is a big proponent of doing historical research to back up evidence of hauntings. In Troy Taylor's own words, "one of the best ways to research the background of a haunted place is through its history." I found the "Researching Cemetery History" very helpful. He tells the history of grave markers and describes the various records to look for when conducting historical research. The "History, Lore & American Way of Death" is morbid, but fascinating. The "How Do Cemeteries Become Haunted" section is interesting, but I'm not quite sure about the portal theory - in fact, you could say that I'm extremely sceptical, but that does not detract from the valuable information found in this book. The "Field Guide to Haunted Graveyards" section is intriguing. It makes me want to pack my bags and visit some of these places. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in historical research and cemeteries (whether haunted or not).
