What Others Are Saying
“Butcher and Roseberry seem like the perfect team for “Spooky York,” because they are honest opposites. Butcher has written previous books on York County history, while Roseberry has a sincere passion for the horror/science fiction/ fantasy world. So from the very beginning, the reader knows their writing styles are completely different. Butcher writes using facts and historical information. He also includes many of his own photographs of the sites in the book. Roseberry, on the other hand, writes with emotion, talking about how she feels when spirits are present and how she uses a pendulum to communicate with the dead.”

“I live near York, Pa, and picked this book up in a local store. The stories written by Scott Butcher are interesting and easy to read with some really fascinating history as well.”
