"There are some different stories in this book, and the Canyon, of course, is a grand stage for story telling of all kinds.
I enjoyed reading this one until I got to the story of Glen and Bessie Hyde, which is not a ghost story, but a story of a disappearance. The information with this incident was conflated with information about two separate parts of the story - the woman on the river raft trip who briefly claimed to be Bessie Hyde during a campfire evening, then later denied it when the story was followed up, was Liz Cuttler. Georgie Clark was a river guide who conducted many raft trips down the Colorado River on her monster rubber rafts, and when she passed away, several personal items that had belonged to Bessie Hyde were found in her effects. Some thought that Georgie had actually been Bessie, and some coincidental information makes it seem like a plausible tale, but further investigation by others doesn't bear out the story. The Hyde story as told in this book confuses Georgie Clark with Liz. Georgie was very famous, and it's odd that such a mistake didn't get noticed.
Overall, the book is enjoyable. It could use some editing and grammar corrections to polish the manuscript."

- There are some different stories in this book, and the Canyon, of course, is a grand stage for story telling of all kinds.

The Hyde story as told in this book confuses Georgie Clark with Liz. Georgie was very famous, and it's odd that such a mistake didn't get noticed.
Overall, the book is enjoyable. It could use some editing and grammar corrections to polish the manuscript. - Great book, used to work there. Nice seeing that other people experienced thing while they worked there. Hope they will write a sequel.
- Ghosts of the Grand Canyon is an entertaining memoir concerning the tales and rumors of ghostly doings in and around the Grand Canyon. Some are dated long ago - some are as recent as last year, all are offered with a grain of salt and a twinkling eye. Those sightings in the south rim sleeping options gave me pause. I know now what rooms not to ask for.
The chatty writing style makes you comfortable despite the subject matter and the information about the facilities available, the walking paths, comfort stations, etc at the National Park is timely and an important addition in your travel plans. I can happily recommend Ghosts of the Grand Canyon to friends and family and anyone with a Canyon trip in their summer plans.
I received an electronic copy of this memoir from Netgalley, Brian-James and Judy Martinez, and Llewellyn Publications. I have read and reviewed this work on my own volition. - When I saw Ghosts of The Grand Canyon, I knew I had to read it. My husband and I lived in Arizona for many years and visited at least once a year. We have walked the Canyon as much as possible. The views are breathtaking. I never saw a ghost but I can see that there would be some. I immensely enjoyed reading these stories. The Bright Angel Lodge and Trail are special and should definitely be visited. I see that some of the paper towel holders would go crazy and empty out during the night. It is absolutely true. I experienced it in more than one place while there. If you like true ghost stories, you have to read this. I loved it. Recommend it highly. I received this book from Net Galley and and Llewellyn Publishing for a honest review. The opinions are my own.
- DescriptionGhosts of the Grand Canyon Personal Encounters That Will Have You on the Edge by Brian James and Judy Martinez, was received direct from the publisher. I cannot honestly say that I have ever heard of Grand Canyon ghosts. I suppose it would only make sense, if you have ever been there then you know it seems as if any false step could be your last. Firstly if you have never been to the Canyon or if you are interested in its history, fun facts, etc about the Canyon, this book is great for those reasons, let along the ghosts. To end with, some of these ghosts are mean, not the happy go lucky "did I just see a ghost" type ghost, some are the "jump/kill yourself" type.
5 Stars - I liked this book, it was full of entertaining and exciting stories.
After reading it I'd be curious to visit the Grand Canyon and see the places that are described.
I liked the style of writing and how the story were told.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Llewellyn Worldwide and Netgalley for this ARC
