The Myrtles Plantation: The True Story of America's Most Haunted House by Frances KermeenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Somewhere in the depths of the internet, I stumbled on a list that put this as the best true account of a haunted house, so that'll teach me to trust the internet. There were certainly plenty of ghosts, but the book was more Disney's Haunted Mansion than what I was hoping for. Kermeen's recollections of the many (many) incidents around the house have the ring of well-rehearsed patter, which is precisely what they are, as she doesn't try to hide that she ran ghost tours through the house for years. This book would be sold in the gift shop, I'm sure, and it's a fun read if you're looking for silliness. It did not, however, cause me to question the very nature of existence, which is admittedly a high bar to set.
