Ghosthunting North Carolina by Kala Ambrose

Title: Ghost Hunting North Carolina Author: Kala Ambrose Publisher: Clerisy Press Print pages: 258 Copyright date: 2011

I chose to read this book because I enjoyed Kala Ambrose's Spirits of New Orleans: Voodoo Curses, Vampire Legends and Cities of the Dead (America's Haunted Road Trip). (I think that qualifies for longest title of any book I have ever read.) I did enjoy this book and found it to be very interesting. In comparison, I liked the New Orleans book better. Ambrose's love of New Orleans really comes through in the book and , as a sensitive, she had more encounters in New Orleans.
However, Ghost Hunting North Carolina does have a personality all its own. I like Ambrose's writing because she describes the hauntings from the view of a sensitive. If she didn't pick up on anything, she makes that plain. However, she tells a wonderful story, whether she experienced anything herself or not. I look forward to reading her next collection of stories.

Spirits of New Orleans: Voodoo Curses, Vampire Legends and Cities of the Dead (America's Haunted Road Trip)

Title: Spirits of New Orleans: Voodoo Curses, Vampire Legends and Cities of the Dead (America's Haunted Road Trip)  (kindle edition) Author: Kala Ambrose Publisher: Clerisy Press Pages: 274



From Amazon:
The city of New Orleans is formed into the shape of a crescent, which is believed by many people to form a sacred chalice which holds and stores energy making it one of the most unique areas in the world in which to perform magic and to see it magnify due to the energy in the land and from the flowing waters of the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico.

Since childhood, Kala Ambrose has seen and felt ghosts and restless spirits. During this journey as your travel guide, Kala explores the history of the city and those who decided to make it their eternal home.

Explore New Orleans with Kala Ambrose and prepare to embark on a unique and enticing journey into the haunted history and magical ceremonies of New Orleans. Prepare to be introduced to supernatural rituals and practices in order to fully understand and embrace the cultural significance of the variety of beliefs, superstitions, legends and lore.

As a fan of true paranormal accounts, and a fan of any stories, fiction or non-fiction, that take place in New Orleans, I simply had to read this book. I am so glad that I did! Even if the writer was not a sensitive and able to see spirits, this would still have been a fascinating account of the hauntings in New Orleans. However, her own personal insight from a sensitive's perspective adds to the book immensely. This is not yet another repetition of the hundreds of other books out there about haunted New Orleans. Kala Ambrose has done her research and adds thought-provoking insight that sheds a new light on some old stories. I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it ti fans of true paranormal. You will not be disappointed!

Read this book if:
*you love true paranormal accounts
*you love New Orleans
