Blood, Death, and Fears: The Haunting of Old South Pittsburg Hospital by Richard Estep

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Boo Spooky" Stars

Creepy Vibes! 

A small taste of what lies within:

Paranormal Investigator and author of this book, Richard Estep and his paranormal crew explore and interact with spirits from a closed down and abandoned hospital called "Old South Pittsburg Hospital" (OSPH for short and located in Tennessee) as they wanted to find out for themselves if spirits and bad energies were trapped inside the hospital.  

Thoughts:

This book goes deep into details of the old hospital as the author and investigator, Richard Estep interviews staff from when the hospital was active and when it was starting to go downhill as Estep wanted to know what caused the hospital to be considered haunted. Estep also does quite a bit of debunking which means he makes sure that the rumors he has heard about the place are in fact rumors or if the rumors are true.  

The writing style of this author just flows along as he tells the experiences of what others have gone through and then the story kicks up a notch when Estep and his team set out to investigate the hospital. The first 30% or so of the book is mostly interviews with staff that once worked there then the last part of the book is all about Estep and his crew with their experiences of their paranormal investigation. This is my second book that I have read by Estep and look forward to reading more of his true paranormal accounts of haunted locations.

Five Nights in a Haunted Cabin by Tamara Thorne & Alistair Cross

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Spooky Boo" Stars

Creepy Haunting!

Thoughts:

I am not doing my traditional small taste with this blog review as there would be spoilers so going to just give out my thoughts on the story. 

This is a true paranormal/haunting tale where the authors, Tamara Thorne and Alistair Cross got together to collaborate on a book and decided to work on the book in a haunted cabin out in the backwoods in California. This was kind of a short book but there was quite a bit of haunting happenings within the story that kept me glued to my kindle! 

This book was one creepy story and I love to read about true ghost/paranormal stories. I have read quite a few of them in the last six or seven years. True hauntings always seem to creep me out. From what was told within these pages the story gives off major haunting vibes and everything that both authors experienced brought the visuals of what they were experiencing to life on the pages of the book!  Another great book by these authors and this book will be going on my favorites shelf. So if you want to experience the otherworldly side then go check out this book!

The Rochdale Poltergeist: A True Story by Jenny Ashford and Steve Mera

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Creepy Paranormal" Stars

Unexplained Manifestations 

A small taste of what lies within:

The Gardner family are having some unexplained things happening in their house which makes their ceiling drip water even to the point of it actually raining in the house and then the water disappears from the ceiling leaving it dry but leaving a water mess on the floor. 

The Gardner's reach out though to paranormal investigators who come to witness their claims of the mysterious water. The paranormal investigators lead by Steve Mera really do not think at first that the water is for real - they go into the home with a scientific theory that something other than the paranormal is at work but they soon get a rude awakening when they witness the paranormal event along with a more sinister presence that makes itself known to the team!

That is about all I can give on a small taste so if you are intrigued then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This was a different type of paranormal haunting with the water and rain manifestations. There was another type of presence that was mentioned in the story suggesting that either a ghost was present or some type of entity. 

The story was not overall spooky and I didn't feel that scary feeling I usually get when reading true paranormal books but I found the book to be more informative with how the rain water was appearing in the home. 

The authors get right to the point in this book as there are no drawn out long explanation with any slow crawl to the storyline. They drew me right into the storyline and kept me hooked into what was happening with this true paranormal story.

The Devil's Coming to Get Me: The Haunting of Malvern Manor by Richard Estep

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Freaky Creepy" Stars!

Spooky Haunting!

A small taste of what lies within:

Paranormal investigator Richard Estep along with his investigating crew decide to spend three days and nights in Malvern Manor that is known in the area as being haunted. After Estep watched the paranormal show "Paranormal Lockdown" that featured the manor he decided that he wanted to check it out for himself. The home was many things before becoming a manor with all kinds of people living within its walls which has brought about some different entities that live within the manor including a shadow man. 

Thoughts:

This book started out mild as up to about the 35% mark the author discussed some different things about the book with background information of what the manor had gone through as a building in the past along with the kinds of people that passed through there. After the 35% mark begins the actual investigation of Estep and his crew. This is where things get really interesting and creepy as Estep goes into details of what they are doing with their devices and what the devices do along with what they are hearing and seeing. 

Reading this story literally captures the visuals of what the author is writing about as I can almost see what he is writing. I do watch those kind of paranormal true shows and have been watching them for years so I am familiar with the devices that he is describing. 

This story goes into full spooky mode though after the 50% mark which kept me glued to my kindle as things started happening. I did go over to the Discovery+ channel to watch "Paranormal Lockdown" as I wanted to see the show that Estep was talking about that surrounds the Malvern Manor but on that show with Nick Groff and Katerina Weidman  they did not seem to experience a lot like Estep and his crew were experiencing. So I think Estep and his crew stirred up something as there seemed to be more activity with their investigation. 

All in all this was a great book which kept me on my toes and gave me some weird dreams. Yeah - I had some interesting dreams from reading this book which sometimes is a given when I read true paranormal stuff. I also liked how this author describes things and goes into details of what they are experiencing. I am planning on reading more books by him and his haunting experiences.

Night Stalks the Mansion by Constance Westbie and Harold Cameron

🌟🌟🌟🌟 

Four "Creepy Chiller" Stars

Spooky Activity!

A taste of what lies within:

Harold Cameron along with his wife, Dorothy and their family move into a mansion that by all appearances seem normal, but it is anything but normal as not too long after they move in some odd happenings occur.  Footsteps are heard throughout the house and outside, doors open on their own, the doorknob to the basement jiggles as if someone is trying to come up out of the basement, the family smells odd odors along with some other things that keep the family on edge. 

Harold eventually hires a man named Enoch to help out around the place and learns from him that the mansion has been around since the 1800's - lots of bad things and disturbances happened there in the past.  

Harold and his family do not leave though with everything that happens as they just endure it all as they have no other place to go and they end up staying there for almost two years with all the activity. 

Though the only thing that really spooked Harold was when he received an unwanted visitor one night as a woman appeared out in his front yard telling him that she had been kidnapped and had escaped the clutches of a couple of men that had her tied up down the road next to an old farmhouse. When he let the woman call a cab as she insisted that she needed to call one and the cab picked her up, Harold just felt that something wasn't right. He came to find out that the woman might have been a ghost as things did not add up with her being kidnapped. Some other things were just off that gave the family a few wonderings of what was really going on in the mansion. 

Thoughts:

This story was not overly scary but there were quite a few spook moments of the family living in the mansion. The family had signed a lease to stay in the house for a couple of years so it would have been hard on them to break the lease and go somewhere else so they just endured all the paranormal activity that came with the mansion hoping to try and figure out themselves what was causing all the activity. 

The book was kind of fast paced and eventually the story delves more into the past of why the mansion was haunted with it being very informative and interesting. All in all the story took me into the creepy zone with some of the activity that was happening with the haunting!
