It's true that a lot of tragedy and disaster create strong emotional bonds that create Earth bound spirits. This book also provides great detail on the Eastland Disaster and the Fort Dearborn Massacre. One of the more heart breaking stories involve the Iroquois Theater disaster. A few of these stories have been corroborated with books by Ursela as well. The very last section of the book focuses on some of the more prevalent stories based in Chicago. Hearing the tales and history of Joliet prison was amazing. I was also familiar with the mention of Alton, IL which I have seen investigated on a television show. This was a piece of history I have never even heard of. The beginning of the book is an amazing place to start since it told the story of a small town that no longer exists in this day on account of the land being flooded and turning into a small island. I personally appreciate more of the history, especially for portions of the state I have not visited. I read one review stating that the history was appreciated but that the alleged ghost stories seemed rather thin and brief.

With this book, the focus encompassed various parts of the State of Illinois. The books I read from her mainly focus on Chicago and a few of the more immediate surrounding suburbs. By default, being a native of Chicago, I'm used to reading books by Ursela Bielski. My main reason is due to the level of history being presented.
