Summary: Truly Captivating!
Comment: This book was amazing! Being familiar with the Warrens work I bought the book knowing that it would be an informative and exciting read. It was all that and more, at least to me. I found myself during the day wishing to hurry home to read more! Ed and Lorraine Warren, with the aid of author, Robert Chase, out did themselves! The book is chalk full of a vast variety of TRUE, ghostly tales. That's the key word here, " TRUE ". Some are sad, some happy, some evil, while others had happy endings. However, most are on the very creepy, horrifying side. It is nearly 200 pages long and every story was just, if not more, satisfying than the last. A few of the stories made your jaw drop and make you say out loud, " NO WAY, THAT CAN'T BE TRUE "! For example, one of the stories in section one, entitled, " Strange Passenger ". Three words...Very very freaky! You wonder to yourself, " Oh my gosh- would I be able to live through something like that if it happened to ME "? And in section two of the book there is one particular story that was incredibly unsettling. It was titled, " The Dead Return To Earth ". In the extream possibility of this story being accurate, which I believe it to be, is mind numbing and absolutely defys logic. I highly recommend, " Graveyard, true hauntings from an old New England cemetery "! But be warned folks, many of the stories in this book have a tendency of giving one the powerful feeling of fear! I would not read it if you are alone in the house. Mainly because you know the stories really occured!!

Summary: Fascinating stories with too little documentation
Comment: Graveyard consists of a number of cemetery-related ghost stories. The first third of the book addresses stories surrounding Union Cemetery in the Warrens' home state of Connecticut, while the remaining two-thirds of the book is made up of similar graveyard tales from all over. The book was basically written by Robert David Chase, but Ed and Lorraine Warren clearly determined the content and offered many of their own opinions and stories throughout the narrative. The Warrens are well-known ghost hunters, and this fact can be something of a double-edged sword. Name recognition alone will draw some to this book while turning others away. The Warrens are a very active and outspoken couple, and many of their beliefs and theories are rather extreme. Personally, I believe in ghosts, but my own beliefs do not stretch as far as those of the Warrens. The famous couple seems to find ghosts everywhere; they go into a cemetery with a tape recorder or video camera and come out with evidence of spiritual contact, evidence which is rarely laid out specifically for those they are speaking to or detectable in the evidence they offer. In addition, they often assume facts which still remain up in the air to many of those interested in the subject at hand. I find them overzealous at best. For instance, Ed talks about having filmed a ghost in Union Cemetery that could easily be seen on the video he took of it, yet no picture of this sort is included in the eight pages of black and white photos in this book. All claims aside, there really is no proof offered for any of the stories told in this book.
Graveyard should be viewed as a collection of ghost stories and nothing more. In that capacity, the book works reasonably well. A number of very different ghostly experiences are described here, several of which do have the potential to raise goose bumps. Almost all of these stories are interesting if not fascinating, and the centrality of cemeteries in each story makes this a somewhat unusual book of ghost tales. Taken in this vein and viewed primarily in terms of entertainment, Graveyard is a successful book. If you expect more than that from the Warrens, you may be disappointed, as this book is not constructed on a solid foundation of credibility.

Summary: Terrific Book!
Comment: A very well-told collection of ghost stories. I know they are true, because while living in Texas, I experienced very similar to what was described in this text--the strange smells, and most encounters always happened when I was alone. This is a great little book you can enjoy in one or two evenings with a cup of tea. Don't miss it!!!I loved it!
