Product Description:
You're about to take the most startling-and frightening-supernatural tour of your life...travel at your own risk!
The the trusting and the unwarned, graveyards are nothing more than a picturesque part of the landscape. But world-famous ghost-hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren expose them as eerie and violent places whose dark influence wreaks havoc on those unlucky enough to live near them. In this chilling account, they reveal the horrors quiet communities gripped by their evil only dare to tell in a whisper...
Enter the graveyard-where the dead haunt the living...
-Prom night turns into a night of the living dead when the gruesome corpse of a classmate goes looking for vengeance
-A U.S. senator gets a bone-chilling phone call from beyond the grave
-Savage spirits order a man to kill his wife
-A cruel radio shock-jock hears voices from the here-after-and learns what true terror really is
-And much more!

I can't say whether I believe every story in this is true, but all are scary, compelling, and definitely make you want to avoid graveyards.
I've read this book twice already. It is absolutely one of the best ghost books ever written.

I started reading this last summer, and life got in the way. I finished reading it yesterday. This is a very scary book. The stories will freak you out. Several of the stories deal with succubus encounters. I did some internet checking on the Warrens, and they seem to have a good reputation. Graveyard is a great collection of freaky stories. I don't know if they're all true or not, or whether I believe everything in the book, but they certainly are interesting and should not be read late at night or you will have nightmares! I enjoyed the story about the banshee the most. It's a great book, an easy read and I would recommend it to any lover of ghost stories.

Right off the bat, let me say that I'm not sure If I believe everything Ed and Lorraine Warren say they have experienced over the years. For those of us that keep up on these things, I am not the only skeptic. They are of course one of the oldest and most famous teams of parapsychology researchers, having been involved in the Amityville Horror case, and they claim to have investigated (up until Mr. Warren's death in 2006) over 10,000 cases. Their research methods have been called "unscientific," and they have a distinctly Catholic bias (not a bad thing necessarily). Mrs. Warren is currently involved in litigation regarding the reprint of "The Devil in Connecticut," in which an involved party alleges that the tale of demon possession was a hoax. The same has been said regarding Amityville, and that the Warren's were just out to make a quick sensationalist buck.
Without knowing them personally or having intimate details of their history, I can only say that I do not believe they are manufacturing a majority of what they say they have experienced. There is a difference between an outright lie, and literary creativity, which is one of the things that makes this one of the most entertaining and interesting books in the field.
Mr. Warren begins with a brief history of odd occurrences in the state of Connecticut, then specifically to the sightings of the "White Lady" of Union Cemetery in Monroe. Notable cases include the body of a murdered man that rises from a sinkhole despite having his pockets weighted with lead, A talk-show host who receives a call from a local cemetery inviting him to a rendezvou with his long dead son, and a former U.S. Senator who receives a call from the murdered daughter of his dead aunt on a phone that has long been disconnected. All of these stories are well-written and related with brilliant creative flourish, most retold from stories related to the Warren's by their clients over the years. Mr. Warren also relates the tale of meeting a long dead friend and member of their New England Society for Psychical Research in a cemetery in broad daylight.
Perhaps Mr. And Mrs Warren were too quick to attribute either supernatural or demonic influences to many of the cases they have worked on over the years. Will the litigation "prove" it to me? No. Did they engage in shoddy methods that might give more scientifically skeptical researchers a bad name? Perhaps. Was the book highly entertaining and fascinating. Absolutely.
5 out of 5 skulls.

All people see & hear things even if they are blind or deaf. The Warrens just present what many have seen & heard through out the years. I own the book Grave Yards by the Warrens. I have had an experience at a grave yard myself while I was in my 20ties & again in my 40ties. I just wanted to see what the Warrens had to say about the subject. Their book has already helped me.
