On the tour I had a couple that used to be stationed in the Army in Savannah and now in Kansas. They were telling me about "the most haunted Army base in the US", Ft Leavenworth. It's the oldest military base West of the Mississippi and has several haunted homes to the point they have haunted tours. One of the most famous, The Rookery, a duplex built in 1827 had a lot of information on it when I Googled it. Some embellished (can you say Savannah), but most of it too many people agreed on. A lot of 1st hand interviews which are always good. I've included some websites (cut and paste).

I like to read historical fiction. It's an easy way to pick up some history and really, 60% of history is fiction anyway. I stumbled on a film crew on Jones St one night filming a movie that was historical horror. A crew member said the movie had already turned a profit there was such a huge market for them and it wasn't even "in the can" yet (finished). I mentioned it last night and someone commented that if you like that kind of movie (and I don't) it was was a great way to pick up a great little history lesson. Makes sense to me. The movie was "Abraham Lincoln Was A Vampire Slayer".
