Haunted Buffalo, Ghosts Of The Queen City

This 2009 non-fiction book was given to me by a close relative and it's an absolute must read for any Buffalo fan as well as any casual or serious ghost fan, as well as the great stories therein there are also some very informative sections on ghosthunting, local paranormal researchers, and their websites and some paranormal terms.
As well as sporting a great looking cover, there are quite a few well known haunts mentioned like The Grand Island Holiday Inn and The Central Terminal, (What? You didn't know The Central Terminal is haunted? What rock have you been hiding under?) and many haunted locations covered which I've never read about before.
This book was written by Dwayne Claud and Cassidy O'Connor with a foreword by Richard J Kimmel, Dwayne and Cassidy are 2 very accomplished local writers and established ghosthunters.
This book is 4th in a series, which includes Haunted Rochester, Ghosts Of Genesee Country and Hauntings of the Hudson River Valley.
Pick up your today @ http://www.historypress.net/ or the boogey man will get you!
Great Book!

Fin de siecle feminine evil: painter Albert Penot's 1890 concept of a bat-woman.
I absolutely love this painting so I thought I would expose it to the world.
