Welcome back!

Pamela K. Kinney delivers a dose of haunted reality in Haunted Richmond. For those who enjoy historically-based scary stories, Haunted Richmond incorporates the rich history of Richmond, Virginia with the ghostly happenings that plagued the successive generational inhabitants of the tri-city area for nearly 300 years. With Edgar Allen Poe as the city’s resident celebrity there’s no wonder, there’s a book length account of the paranormal and sinister happenings of the territory.

From headless hall roamers to wails and screams in the night, no ghostly encounter is overlooked. Haunted Richmond acts as a road map to all the scary happenings in and around Richmond’s personal residences and graveyards as well as public buildings and movie theatres. While Haunted Richmond may not keep you up at night, it will make you more conscious every sound and shadow that lurks in the night.

Like haunted stories told around a campfire or underneath a tent with a flashlight, I found Haunted Richmond enjoyable for its intermingling of history with the supernatural. Kinney even intertwined her own paranormal experiences in the book giving hope to ghost hunters everywhere that maybe they could visit Richmond and experience the supernatural power of its residence who have long since passed but have yet to leave.
