⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Grabbed this during a weekend order. You can tell why this work has endured. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Five stars from me.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Solid, if not essential.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Allison provides a comprehensive map of Seattle’s paranormal landscape, effectively merging local history with supernatural lore for over 150 sites. The inclusion of addresses and photographic evidence makes it a practical tool for exploration. However, this volume is strictly focused on urban ghost hunting and cemetery symbolism; it does not suit readers seeking deep theoretical occult practices or academic sociological analysis of spiritualism. It is also less relevant to those uninterested in Seattle’s specific geographic history. While excellent for tourists and casual enthusiasts, skeptics looking for rigorous empirical proof may find the blend of fact and legend insufficiently critical for their tastes.
