2 comments about Massachusetts (The America Series).

1. We ordered this book right before moving away from Massachusetts in anticipation of being a bit home sick. We placed this book on our coffee table and look at it often. It is great. There are plenty of pictures, some text. The book is good size. I would highly recommend -- and have purchased more copies of -- this book to give as a gift.



2. As a former resident of Mass. I bought this book as a kind of keepsake of some of the beauty of New England. It certainly does contain great pictures. The reader is taken from the capital, Boston all the way to the Berkshires covering just about everything in between. All the history and unique areas are covered. If you're interested in learning more about the state or just want to appreciate all it has to offer you need look no further than this book. Highly recommend and very reasonably priced.

2 comments about Road Trip USA: New England.

1. I am enamoured with this book! I am planning my first trip to New England in August and this book makes usually dull trip preparations exciting.

   Jensen sets out 5 separate road trips through New England, including a coastal route, several mountain routes, the Cape Cod trip, and an Appalachian trail route. We are planning to take the coastal route 1 and then route 3 through the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

   So far, all of Jensen's advice has been excellent. His lodging suggestions are affordable and up to date. He makes a point to highlight historic and unusual places that are representative of New England. I can't wait to go on the trip and report back!

   Edited: Just got back from the trip and it was fantastic. A few highlights--The Maine Idyll Motel (a group of log cabins in Freeport Maine); Acadia National Park; Camden, ME; and all of the roadside diners and blueberry picking. Enjoy your trip!




2. I had 21 days to drive New England this Fall with no set itinerary and needed a good guide. I wanted to avoid the Interstates and get a feel for the places I visited. This book never left my side. I solo drove three of the book's routes: the Coastal New England route from Mass to northern Maine (rte 1), the Great North Woods route (rte 2) from New Hampshire to Vermont, and the Green Mtns, Berkshires route (rte 7) from Vermont to Danbury, Conn. This book got a page-by-page workout as I developed my daily plan then adapted if something caught my eye. It was used in conjunction with Frommers New England's Best-Loved Driving Tours, which I found equally useful. This book is out-of-date on lodging prices, as expected, since publication in 2001. Also, a few recommended sites/motels have gone bust. On the plus side, its practical route layout combining scenic sites, historical/cultural sites, towns(with history/tips), affordable eateries, spot-on descriptions and personal perspective was invaluable. Buy this book and start exploring.

5 comments about Ghost Stalker Two: A Psychic Medium Visits Europe's Most Haunted Castles.

1. Ghosts are human souls which have not moved on but continue to stay in their favorite places as earthbound spirits. On the othre hand, sorcerers and witches are considered to be devil's instruments. Green-faced witches wiht warty noses riding on broomsticks are myth, as is the European werewold, and vampires (the undead). I read a scary book about vampires by George Martin many years ago.
   
   Michelle Whitedove travels to the United Kingdom to the Castle Delhoune in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Lancaster Castle and Chillingham at Northumberland. She also locates a haunted pub (the favorite meetingplaces in that area of the world, and the English hotel where rock stars and Diana frequented. This is attributed to Longfellow (from America): "All houses in which men have lived and died ar haunted houses; through the open doors the harmless phantoms on their errands glide with feet that make no sound upon the floors."
   
   GHOST STALKER was about America's most haunted sites. Both books are good reference material for a Halloween party this year. I plan to haunt the balcony area of the renovated Tennessee Theatre (a place which meant much to me in the Fifties). The Bijou already has its own ghost, that of Civil War Colonel Sanders who expired in that building.



2. I have been studying the world of the paranormal since I was roughly 9 years old growing up in my own "haunted house" I am now 36 years young, and have read allot on the subject and I cont. to collect books on the subjects...
   I find this book a bit more wordy on her were she went, her reactions, and little history. Its meat is not were you would expect it to be, in the stories which are short. I was left wanting more... maybe knowing that she is a gifted person, she didnt go into everything she knew I felt she kinda shorted the readers... it was like this in both works. Now you must understand that i have read this subject for years... so it maybe a good read for the beg. but not an advanced reader.



3. I was drawn to this book based on its title and concept; a psychic medium travels to various haunted locations and reports on her experiences. As I read the book, I was not lured-in by her investigations. She spends a lot of time discussing the history of each location, which is nice in terms of understanding the background, but the style of her investigations are based more on impressions than documented proof, such as capturing EVPs, or visual evidence through the use of video and photography.
   
   There are two styles towards investigating a haunted location. One is scientific in its approach through the use of various devices that measure the surrounding atmosphere. Typical devices are an EMF meter to record electromagnetic fields and a thermocouple to record ambient temperature fluctuations. Disturbances in these areas commonly occur prior to paranormal activity. The use of this equipment can help in documenting activity using audio, photography, or video equipment. The other style of investigation uses a psychic, or "sensitive" individual who listens to impressions perceived either through the surrounding environment or communicated by the psychic's spiritual guide.
   
   Ms. Whitedove's investigations are based solely on psychic impression. The way in which she documents each investigation is fairly consistent; she recounts the history of the location, visits the location, and walks us through her experience. It's a light and predictable read with little content that draws the reader into the experience. At no time did I feel frightened or even fascinated by her impressions. Ms. Whitedove simply tells us what occurs. To some this may be enough. If you're interested in what happens, then this may be the book for you. If you're looking to be drawn into her experiences and frightened at the same time, I wouldn't recommend this book. It's a short book and a quick read with little emotional impact.
   
   Being a paranormal investigator, I do admit to being somewhat biased by her approach. I would have rather seen her select a blended scientific and psychic approach towards each investigation. Based on her impressions, she could lead her team to capture evidence, which she could then share with the reader. To me, that's the most fascinating approach!



4. This was the fourth book by Michelle Whitedove that I have read. It is a complete departure from her first two books. I was amazed by the depth of educational material that she was able to give on GHOSTS and other paranormal phenomena that she experienced during her trip to Europe. As an author and Psychic-Medium, it is great to learn the true facts from someone who can SEE and COMMUNICATE with spirits. She gives explanations to all of the questions that I always wanted answered: Are ghosts real? What are orbs? How do ghosts travel? Why do they stay in these places? Are hauntings a method of communication? etc. Plus I really enjoyed the way the book was written from the actual journal pages of her UK ghost trip. You feel as if you are there driving with her and experiencing these haunted castles. This is a fascinating account of her trip. It is not an "over the top" piece if fiction. But it is very believable and full of valuable insights about ghosts and why these souls refuse to leave their Castle homes. I highly recommend it!



5. I REALY ENJOY MICHELL WHITEDOVE'S BOOKS. THEY ARE INTERESTING AND EASY TO READ. GREAT INSIGHT INTO THE PARNORMAL. I HOPE SHE WRITES MORE BOOKS, I THINK I HAVE READ ALL THAT SHE HAS WRITTEN, LOVED EVERYONE OF THEM!SHE IS A GREAT PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
