Haunted U.S.A. is a compilation of ghostly hauntings from all 50 states. The hauntings range from a weeping cemetery statue to marching warriors. 

This book is beautifully illustrated, with appropriately dark colors. Each story is only a page, with a full page illustration to go with it, which makes it very reader friendly. None of the ghost stories are too frightening, and they are a great jump start to researching more, since most of the stories are based on actual people or events. This book is a delightful read and would make a great gift for those who lean toward the supernatural.
