In his travels as a Great Lakes historian, the author has stumbled across many ghost stories connected to the lakes, from phantom ships, haunted islands and ghostly lighthouses. In this book, he opens his personal “haunted” file to reveal a collection of stories that have never appeared in print before. In each case, Oleszewski weaves the experiences with ghosts, and the rich history of the location, into a story that you simply can’t put down. In a departure from his usual tales of Great Lakes history and maritime adventure, the author reveals a dark side to the region that you don’t want to miss.

Wes Oleszewski brings us right no the deck of the ships & to the lakes we love. The information is profound dates/names/places. The diligent effort to bring the history to life makes enjoyable reading.
Great book! Wes has become probably the best writer the Lakes region has ever seen. His books are well researched, with no hyperbole, manufactured conversations or guess-work. Very meticulous in detail. Any of his books are a must-have for any serious Great Lakes reader.
