Heavy on the history and pretty skimpy with the hauntings. I would have read a history book if I was that interested in historical minutiae. Disappointing.
If you're looking for a book of haunted places, this is not it. If you're looking for random history stories then you may like this book(but doubtful). I struggled to finish this random tales of history book. Each chapter is 95% history and the the last paragraph or two the author is like oh and there is a ghost but no one knows who it is.
