Ghosts, Critters & Sacred Places of Washington and Oregon

Ghosts, Critters & Sacred Places of Washington and Oregon by Davis, Jefferson D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781893186026.

This is the second book in a Jeff Davis series recounting true ghost stories from the Pacific Northwest. The stories in this book are not fiction, but come from many sources, like newspaper stories and first hand experiences from people who have had paranormal encounters. This book is thirty pages longer than Jeffs first book: Ghosts and Strange Critters of Washington and Oregon. Although most of the stories in this book are new, some of the haunted sites from Jeffs first book have been updated. There are more public places in this book, like bars, restaurants, hotels or public buildings. Most of them can be visited by readers for their own experiences. This book is divided into geograpic regions in Washington and Oregon, including the Puget Sound, the Coast, and east and west of the Cascade Mountains. In addition to ghost stories, there are several stories about "Strange Critters" like the Bigfoot and "Sea Critters" that have been seen in the Pacific Northwest. At the end of the book is a section on ghost hunting, where the author describes natural phenomenon that can be mistaken for hauntings. Such as low frequency sounds, which can cause hallucinations and other seemingly paranomal phenomenon. There is also a history of the Armonica, which instead of creating ghosts was thought to summon angels. There are several photographs of haunted locations as well as an index at the end of the book.
