Haunted Highway: The Spirits of Route 66 Reviews

  • John

    Garbage.

  • Kimberly

    I bought this while traveling Route 66 this Summer. Fun, easy read and not overly “scary”. Informative for ghost and Route 66 enthusiasts, of which I’m both.

  • Natalie

    Picked this up and read it while on my trip in Arizona and was driving around on Route 66 daily. This was a fun short read perfect for reading while traveling and when I had down time. Sixty six short ghost stories about places located along Route 66, I really enjoyed reading about these hauntings.

  • Nikki

    I enjoyed this book as a travel companion or just to use as a starting point to some haunted locations along Route 66. Each place that is found in here has a short description of the haunting, some of the history and also at the end of each location entry there is contact information and directions on how to get there. There are many black and white pictures throughout as well, and also a sources section at the end to go get more information.

    The book wasn't overly exaggerated as some books on hauntings tend to be, or dramatized is another word for it. It was clean, precise and kept to the point. Quick read too.

  • Don LaFountaine

    It was a pretty good ghost story book with a number of tales that I had not read in other books. Personally, I enjoyed it more when I was reading it at night, because for me it accentuated the "creepy" factor, and so I would recommend reading the book at night if possible. Finally, it is a book that is meant to be read while on a road trip on Route 66. I am sure that the stories would have different feel if I was actually at some of these places while reading it. All in all, I did enjoy this book, and would recommend it to anyone who likes ghost stories.

  • Elizabeth

    Interesting but I wish they told me more about how the people died and not just the "haunting a" people experienced.

  • Ruby Miller

    This book has some very interesting and spooky stories!
