Paranormal author Leslie Rule explores a new twist on this strange phenomenon when she explores brutal deaths-and subsequent hauntings-all over America in "When the Ghost Screams." No sector of the country is left untouched by these mystical happenings. The Midwest, Northeast, Southwest, and, of course, Salem, Massachusetts (to which the author has her own bizarre connection), all have unique and gruesome cases of their own ghostly incidents.
