Books like Ghostly Encounters: True Stories of America's Haunted Inns and Hotels

This is a book that I've been reading for the past 18 months or so. The short chapters, each featuring a haunted hotel or inn from across the US, make it ideal for dipping in & out of....& if I'm brutally honest, it also stopped me getting bored with it as some of it is quite repetitive - though I guess there's a limited number of things that will ghosts do!I did find the writing style a bit messy, & once or twice, even a little incoherent. The chapters were comprised roughly of the history of the building, followed by "sightings" & concluding with factual info on the hotel/inn's accommodation amenities etc. With regard to the history & sightings parts, it often seemed like it had been written down word for word as it had been related to the author. While I guess this did lend some authenticity to the tale, it also meant sometimes things ended abruptly or concluded unsatisfactorily, just tailing off like conversations often do.....A bit more information at times wouldn't have gone amiss & might have stopped some of the recollections seeming almost interchangeable.To be fair the copy I read was an ARC, so things may have been tidied up before general publication. Personally I would have liked the properties to be grouped by state, with a map showing the relevant location.However it was an interesting read but one that I'd recommend reading in short bursts between other books.
