Some of the most notorious criminals in US history were kept under lock and key on the foggy, craggy shores of Alcatraz Island. Al Capone, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Shroud all haunted the dank cells of the infamous prison while they were alive. But do their spirits still remain? Readers will be ferried across San Francisco Bay to explore the history—and hauntings—of Alcatraz. Including the deep historical past of the California prison, the main content will engage readers while creepy photographs will invite them into "the hole" and the prison's hidden tunnels. Detailed sidebars offer even more ghostly sightings to readers who dare probe the past of spooky Alcatraz.

      Gr 3-5-The drab color scheme, no-nonsense font, and concrete block textural design of "History's Most Haunted" gives an ominous first impression This set presents many diverse historical facts about some of the Western world's most notorious locations, from the White House to the Tower of London. Text boxes deliver additional tidbits, such as why the number 13 is considered unlucky and what field hospital conditions were like during the Civil War. The glossaries include words such as "execute," "suicide," "behead," and "tortured." Though readers might have a hard time separating speculation from information (e.g., Gettysburg says, "So many people died there during the Civil War, it's no wonder some of their spirits stayed behind"), there are no shelf-sitters in the bunch.
