The Haunting of Crimshaw Manor

De: Mark E. Drotos

Narrado por: Greg O'Donahue

Every town has a mystery.

The Crimshaw family were once the caretakers of the prestigious Strathmore Estate. After the great blizzard of 1868, the townspeople found Elizabeth Crimshaw’s body hanging from the banister. Her young son and husband were declared missing and never found.

Every town has a legend.

The locals say they have seen Elizabeth’s ghost and that the manor is haunted. Others claim to have heard a woman’s scream and have witnessed strange lights and shadow people.

Some mysteries are better left unsolved.

What really happened to the promising Crimshaw family? Are the rumors surrounding the family true? Intent on investigating these claims, Stephen Davenport, adjunct professor of Paranormal Studies at Strathmore University, along with students from the school’s paranormal investigations club begin a weekend investigation.

What they find confirms their beliefs in the paranormal—and challenges them to simply stay alive.

Naw…not interesting

It wasn’t very good writing and it felt like a cliche, nothing original. Kind of boring and predictable.

Fictional but also accurate paranormal investigation story.

In his debut novel, the author does a great job of utilizing his knowledge of paranormal investigations to weave a story that is interesting, suspenseful, and with well-defined characters. Highly recommend, and would like to see more from this author.

Spooky

Great story of ghosts and a paranormal creature. I couldn't stop listening to the book. The narrator does a great job. Students of a university go to this haunted house to record any paranormal activity and they start uncovering what happened to a woman and her son centuries ago. Pretty good story.

Chilling

The first scene of ghosts in the funeral home was surprisingly scary. Opposite of suspense. Suspense has you wanting to see what's next. This... had you saying, no, don't, stop, wait! As it slowly kept going. That scene alone is what determined the book a five. That delivered for sure what a HH book ought to: heart pounding, euphoric fright.

When Does the NEXT Book Come Out!?!?

I loved it. This author knows this field! This will be a GREAT series!

A "Hauntingly" Good Story!

I loved the story! Take a paranormal studies professor and three students from the University's paranormal club, a historic haunted manor house and you get a fast paced paranormal suspense story that will keep you up and looking at each shadow or noise you may hear.

If you're a fan of paranormal sho, s you will enjoy this story. The author goes explains the process and techniques in paranormal investigation in an insightful and sometimes humorous way.

Being an audible listener for years I truly enjoyed the narrator. A reader who has infliction and emotion in their voice is a treat indeed!

I had chills and an emotional moment during the "unspeakable act." The ending was fantastic and I look forward to additional Audible stories from this author and narrator.

Great

I loved this book, it definitely was a fun read. The narration was good too!

Creepy Crimshaw

Crimshaw Manor has always been a fixture in Strathmore and, of course, it is surrounded by tales of ghosts and mysterious deaths. When a Professor of Paranormal studies and his group of college students decide to investigate, they really don't know what to expect.

Evelyn and Steven (the professor) had a relationship before he graduated and when they meet again, their feelings begin to grow. When the group spend a night at Crimshaw, they find much more than they had imagined.

This was a typical haunted house story, complete with cold spots, creepy voices and apparitions. The group see a lot and learn a lot about the history of the Manor. It reminded me a lot of ghost hunter type shows that you find on TV. Some of the dialogue was a bit stilted for the people speaking, but all in all, it did give me some creepy vibes and had a couple of unexpected supernatural elements.

The narrator did a good job and his pacing and voice added a lot to the book.

A fun ghost story

I have listened to this book twice and found it fun both times the story moves at a good pace, and the characters are nicely written as well.

Great surprise!

It's been a while since I've enjoyed a good ghost story...and this was a great one! Mr. O'Donahue did an amazing job narrating it as well!
