The historical aspect of this book is pretty good - everything seems to be well-researched. (I will nitpick and say that on page 78, it wouldn't be the "ocean floor" - "lakebed" might be more accurate.) As far as the ghost stories go, it's hard to be factual... Many of them are based on hearsay or one person's account. (The Mackinac Island ghost stories in particular don't always have basis in fact: a lot of them don't seem to have any historical evidence to back them up, such as the story about Harvey, or as the author even admits, the "drowning pool.")

I do wish there had been a conclusion as the book ended abruptly, but it was still an enjoyable read overall.… (meer)
