Their ghosts still lurk, demanding that we remember the past. They're real. They're out there. And Jeff Belanger has found them: - President Lincoln has been walking the halls of the White House in Washington, D.C., for more than a century. - The Queen Mary may just be the most storied and haunted ship on the planet. - The catacombs of Paris contain the skeletal remains of six million bodies...and many of their ghosts. - And the Tower of London is haunted by noblemen and commoners--some still searching for the heads they lost more than 500 years ago. Take a world tour of history, the supernatural, and the macabre. You will explore libraries, museums, restaurants, inns, and landmarks from North America, South America, Europe, and Australia. But be careful: The World's Most Haunted Places, may make you a believer!
