Book Description:
Take a ride over the Niagara Falls, through the rapids, or around the whirlpool to discover outlandish stories with frightening outcomes. You've heard about people going over the falls in a barrel, but what of those who have stayed behind after the stunts and their deaths? Learn about sacrifices to Tawiscara, the evil god, and the 300-foot-deep gorge, Devil's Hole, supposed home of a giant snake. Meet the dish-throwing ghost at the Olde Angel Inn, and Robert Parson, who hung over the edge of the Falls, only to die after his rescue. The Falls have a secret and scary calling, and those who answer the call are never disappointed. You won't be either.

Dark Delicacies Book Store: Paperback Nonfiction Bestseller List for Week Ending 3/21/09: "#5 Spirits and Death in Niagara - Marcy Italiano -- Schiffer"

"I just finished your book Spirits and Death in Niagara. I LOVED IT! The book was like an old friend to me taking me to all the places I knew about: Fort George, Queenstown, Devil's Hole, Three Sister Islands, the gorge, rapids and of course--the falls. About 15 years ago I read Pierre Berton's Niagara (during a bout with insomnia) and I thought I knew everything about the falls...but I learned a lot more and was entertained by your book. SO glad I stumbled across it." -- Louise Gagne, Windsor

The online travel magazine for women, Journeywoman.com, has an article featuring little snips of information from SPIRITS AND DEATH IN NIAGARA in the article "Canada and U.S. Share Scary Niagara Region..." If you'd like a little glimpse into a few of the stories, along with some Halloween tips for the ghostly season make sure you check it out.

Accompanying Videos:

While I was taking pictures, I was able to take three short videos of the Falls! If you can, I strongly suggest taking a ride on the Maid of the Mist to really understand the power of the Falls. Just short of killing our digital camera, I wiped it off and tried to catch as much as I could before the mist hit us like rain.
