Summary: Good read, sparse on Portland area information
Comment: Oregon's Ghosts and Monsters is full of interesting details of the paranormal in Oregon. Readers who are interested in ghost lore involving the state's largest population center--Portland--would be advised to look elsewhere. There is no mention of any ghosts or monsters who dwell in the City of Roses or surrounding areas, which seems like a major omission. I'm sure such a city has it's fair share of ghosts; one only has to think of the many unsuspecting drunks who were sometimes killed in the process of being taken captive in the Shanghai Tunnels beneath Old Town. In sum: a good sumation of those spectres that haunt more rural locales, but urban ghosts are ignored.

Summary: Good Collection, Good Reference
Comment: If you enjoy supernatural legends, and particularly local legends, this is a book you need to add to your library. I used this book for a resource for my "Flix, the Creature in Conser Lake" monograph. It is a nice little collection of Oregon legends, with black and white photos and some graphics. I'd like Mike Helms, the author, to do an updated edition of this book!

Summary: Good Research book
Comment: I used this book for a research project, it has very good information, and fun to read. Even better if you live in Oregon. I found myself reading it late at night and being very spooked! Good book I recomend it to anyone who likes a good ghost story!
