Haunted Highway: The Spirits of Route 66

A guide to sixty-six spine-tingling tales of haunted homes, businesses and graveyards along America's "Mother Road."
It's no accident that Route 66 begins in Chicago- at Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Ave. It was started by adventurous souls who had already traveled this far west and began forging the haphazard trail even farther. They followed market routes, stagecoach routes and sometimes paths or trails that, patched together, made one continuous route. Paving the roads made it easier for the rest of us to follow, but they were the first. Many of their spirits are still there, waiting for you to visit.

From Chicago's Biograph Theater, we travel west through places like St. Charles, Missouri; Gutherie, Oklahoma and Jerome, Arizona. Ending up at The Georgian Hotel's Speakeasy Restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

We hope you will pack up your bags, grab this book and hit the road. Or if you prefer to be an armchair traveler, we still think you'll have an exciting trip along our haunted version of Route 66.
