Review: The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm

This is the first book I've finished for my True Crime Summertime Challenge.

The story of the murders at Fox Hollow Farm was unfamiliar to me before reading The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm. 

The first part of the book provides some backstory into the multiple murders that occurred at Fox Hollow Farm and gives examples of paranormal activity that has been experienced by its new owners (ironically, the resident family’s last name is “Graves” because the woods around their home is essentially an unmarked graveyard) and their tenant. The remaining chapters are about what happens when psychics and paranormal investigators visit the property. 

The investigators detail their encounters with both benign spirits and malevolent presences sometimes referred to as “The Frog,” “Sounds like Joe,” and possibly even the ghost of the home’s former owner himself, serial killer Herb Baumeister. 

The descriptions of the rooms in the house with the worst negative energy and creepy encounters with some of the paranormal entities gave me goosebumps. This book convinced me that I have zero desire to ever visit this place. I’m fairly sure the only thing that grows at Fox Hollow Farm is fear.

Thank you to NetGalley, Llewellyn Publications, and the authors for the chance to read this book in return for a fair review.
