Cincinnati Haunted Handbook

The first book in the new Haunted Handbook line within the popular America's Haunted Road Trip series, Cincinnati Haunted Handbook offers a plethora of eerie spots in the Queen City. Each of the places in Cincinnati Haunted Handbook is presented in a two-page spread that includes directions, a brief history, details about the paranormal activity, and advice on seeing it in person. Sites are organized into sections, including schoolhouses, roads and bridges, hotels and inns, and others. From the winding curves of the spooky Buffalo Ridge Road to the ghost of Music Hall, from the moans heard by the Miamitown bridge to the wispy form that flits through Spring Grove Cemetery, this book offers creepy hideaways that even Cincinnati natives don't know about. Equally suitable as a travel guide or as a diverting read for casual dipping, Cincinnati Haunted Handbook sorts out what creeps and crawls in the Ohio night.

Jeff Morris achieved his degree in English from the haunted Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and spent the early part of his career as an English instructor at a college in Cincinnati. While teaching, Jeff became interested in the ghost stories in the Cincinnati area. In 2005, he started working with his brother, Michael Morris, on their first book, Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio, which was published in June of 2009 by Arcadia Publishing. Beyond the book, Jeff and Michael have become very involved in the paranormal field in the Midwest. In 2006 they founded Miamitown Ghost Tours, which continues to run year round. In 2009, the brothers joined a paranormal investigation group called CAPER (Cincinnati Area Paranormal Existence Research), and they started an online radio show called "Miamitown Ghost Talk.” Through this show, Jeff and Michael have made many connections in the paranormal field throughout the country. They have attended a number of paranormal conferences and conventions and in 2009 hosted their own conference, Miamitown Paranormal Fest. Aside from the Miamitown Ghost Tours, books, and the radio show, Michael is also a freelance graphic designer. He works closely with numerous paranormal groups and individuals to provide them with Web sites and graphics.
