Product Description
Chicago. A town with a past. A people haunted by its history in more ways than one. A "windy city" with tales to tell...
Critics called Ursula Bielski's Chicago Haunts: Ghostlore of the Windy City a "must-read," "a masterpiece of the genre," and "an absolutely first-rate book," and readers agreed.
Now she s back with more history, more legends, and more hauntings, including the personal scary stories of Chicago Haunts readers.
More Chicago Haunts brings you the Ovaltine factory haunts, the Monster of 63rd Street's castle of terror, phantom blueberry muffins, the ghosts of Wrigley Field, Al Capone's yacht, and 45 other glimpses into the haunted myths and memories of Chicagoland.

It was an interesting book, however, not as captivating as the first.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion concerning what they read. Amazon.com graciously allows these opinions to be viewed online. The joke that concludes the first book is mocking and demeaning and was meant to be such! The only " believing " found in this author's books are of her own theories and write-off explanations. However many aspects that the author uses to examine the parapsychology of the great city of Chicago....her conclusions are only within the closed minded framework of folklore and myth. People who have had paranormal experiences in their lives do not share that view.

In response to "booklover": The joke that ends Chicago Haunts is just that...a joke--and a very mild and inconsequential one, too! The playfulness represented in Bielski's finale is but one feature of her multi-faceted approach to presenting ghostly legends and supernatural experiences. In being academic, popular, serious, good-humored, respectful, appreciative, believing, and skeptical, Bielski is true to herself and the material, and engaging as a writer, purposely allowing readers to ultimately decide what they believe for themselves.

This second book is even worse than the first. After her first book-which she ends with a cheap booze joke that mocks the whole field of Parapsychology-Mrs. Bielski is contacted by many people in the Chicago area who describe their paranormal experiences to her, only to have them whitewashed as folklore or myth. Mrs. Bielski's whole problem is, her mind is so filled with materialistic philosophy, she can't even understand human feeling when she sees it. Resurrection Mary is far more real than this phony. If you want your moneys worth of this book- take it with you to the toilet.

This follow-up book to the incredible "Chicago Haunts" is equally as impressive and hard to put down.
While most "sequel" books are obviously comprised of filler material and rushed to press to capitalize on an earlier success, it is evident that this book was painstakingly researched. It is beautifully done. Bielski doesn't just recount ghost stories; she weaves in sympathy, historical fact, and sometimes humor to present artfully written short stories. Her hard work does not go unnoticed in this book. If you love Chicago history, ghost stories, or just good reading, this is a book for you.
