The Bayou Hauntings  The Proctor Hall Horror

Book 7 in the Bayou Hauntings Series


                                                                              BY Bill Thompson
 

  Spirits, seances, murder these are the things that make a perfectly thrilling horror story.  Bill Thompson has written ‘The Bayou Hauntings The Proctor Hall Horror’, which is book seven of the series.  This is a story of a family bereft of insanity in many forms. The main characters of Noah, Julian Girard, April, Marisol, Cate, Landry Drake, Henri, and Marguey and ME.  All of these characters are intermingled in the story. All of these characters came together to seek answers try and solve a long ago unsolved murder.

 

This is a story that starts out as a college project in Julian Girard’s class about Louisiana Culture.  Julian, the professor of this class assigns (signs up) small groups to write papers on various haunted The Bayou Hauntingsplantations across Louisiana, and the investigations begin.

There is mystery and death till the end and we learn many things about life and death and very different personalities that people may exhibit in extreme cases.  My favorite parts of the story were right at the beginning with Marguey and ME on the banks of the bayou and Proctor Hall and the scenes of the seances. I even liked at the beginning when Julian was ‘teaching’ his course and following class discussions and finding out the who’s who of the classroom and setting up the groups as some professors do in real classrooms. 

  Bill Thompson is a fantastic writer that shows and tells what is going on throughout the book for readers will be able to visualize all the happenings that occur even though there are no illustrations in the book.  This is a novel that will scare you for at times the scenes you will think you hear the spirits even the ones the characters do not speak to during the seances.  Bill has written a story that will scare you, and then you will rejoice in the end.
