Synopsis

When Mark Spencer and his family moved into the beautiful old Allen House in Monticello, Arkansas, they were aware of its notorious reputation for being haunted. According to local lore, the troubled spirit of society belle Ladell Allen, who had mysteriously committed suicide in the master bedroom in 1948, still roamed the grand historic mansion. Yet, Mark remained skeptical—until he and his family began encountering faceless phantoms, a doppelganger spirit, and other paranormal phenomena. Ensuing ghost investigations offered convincing evidence that six spirits, including Ladell, inhabited their home. But the most shocking event occurred the day Mark followed a strange urge to explore the attic and found, crammed under a floorboard, secret love letters that touchingly depict Ladell Allen's forbidden, heart-searing romance—and shed light on her tragic end.

This book seemed extremely fake. The only thing that seemed real were the letters the author found. He seemed to fill in the blanks as to what he thought happened. It was an ok book. Very sad book but I didn't feel as if I could connect to the characters. The letters were interesting but just not en......more

Mark Spencer's "A Haunted Love Story: The Ghosts of the Allen House" is not quite your typical horror/ghost story.
