review 1: This was a very nice, short book about Civil War battlefield ghosts / orbs. The pictures were clear for the most part, and whether you believe in the supernatural or not, they showed some intriguing anomalies. I like that different cameras were used at the spots photographed so that it wasn't just one camera messing up all the time. The book includes a nice section of history for the particular battlefield or spot in question. Most books assume you either know a lot of the history, or will go research it one your own. It's nice that a short lesson is included. If you are interested then you have a reference for names to go research for more in depth information. My favorite part of the book is that it tells not only which battlefield to go to but also give... mores specific directions to where each photo was taken. I do not know if things like specific trees are still there or not, but it's very nice to have the ability to get as close as possible if you want to try to recreate the photos yourself. I have never had the chance to visit Gettysburg, but when I do, I would like to be able to take along this book and see if I can visit these spots myself. I just hope that the ghosts don't decide to break my reading device like they broke the cameras!
review 2: A short but interesting book. The author shares several photos taken at Gettysburg battle sites by her husband. They span different times and types of cameras. You'll see mists and orbs of different shapes, sizes and textures. The author also shares the history of the location of the photo and directions for how to get there yourself. The kindle version isn't the best for viewing the photos, but I'll check them again when my kindle fire arrives. I find ghost hunters fascinating, but I'm always skeptical of the supposed evidence. This seems to be an honest description of a family's experiences, but who knows what was really captured on film and digitally. less

A great collection of Gettysburg ghost photos with some explanation behind them - a thin volume.
