Hauntings lurk and spirits linger in the Keystone State Reader,
beware! Turn these pages and enter the world of the paranormal,
where ghosts and ghouls alike creep just out of sight. Authors Mark
Nesbitt and Patty A. Wilson shine a light in the dark corners of
Pennsylvania and scare those spirits out of hiding in this
thrilling collection. From apparitions of fires and soldiers
struggling in the cold at Valley Forge, to ghostly children
stalking dormitories at Gettysburg College, these stories of
strange occurrences are sure to send a chill up your spine. Around
the campfire or tucked away on a dark and stormy night, this big
book of ghost stories is a hauntingly good read.
The emerald sheen illuminating the Sabbatarian burying ground, 8
Mile River's misty figures which emerge at the Devil's Hopyard, and
flying demon skeletons on Charles Island these bizarre haunts are
uniquely Connecticut. In the ghostly lore of the state, the ambient
ramblings of the Leatherman still ring out in the caves of
Harwinton's forests and the former residents of the Hale Homestead
continue to roam the attic at night. Join authors and Paranormal
United Research Founders, Thomas D'Agostino and his wife Arlene
Nicholson, as they recount bone chilling mysteries from Putnam,
Canton, New London and many more shadowy corners of the Nutmeg
state.
When the sun slips behind the trees and shadows lengthen near dusk,
the mountains and valleys of Highlands and Cashiers whisper with
stories of lost loves, deals gone bad and ghosts who walk the
night. Learn the stories and firsthand accounts of hauntings and
the hard to explain. Is that a whisper winding through the
hemlocks, or is it just the wind?
Author Keven McQueen dissects some of Kentucky's more bizarre
aspects of death, pulled directly from the history pages. Discover
the reaper's creative side, meet the disgusting ghosts of
Louisville and find out more than you wanted to know about
old-fashioned embalming techniques. You will find it quite
engrossing...and just plain gross.
Paranormal phenomena, orbs and strange mists, true ghosts stories,
hauntings near and far, and much much more.
As the dense coastal fog rolls in to blanket the shoreline in
gloomy silence, one thing becomes very clear. Oregon is a state in
which ghosts roam. Not only here on the coast but in the lush green
inland regions as well. Oregon is the ninth largest state in the
US, and is one of contrasts from the fertile Willamette Valley with
its hundreds of wineries to its rugged coastline; from its
twenty-two feet tall Pioneer statue, known affectionately as Gold
Man, sitting atop the state capital in Salem to its ghost towns,
Oregon is a state of stark beauty, hauntings and history. Ghosts
linger for any number of reasons. Those who've stayed on in Oregon
range from millionaires who refuse to move from their mansions,
lonely cemetery inhabitants, those attached to local theaters,
saloons and hotels to ladies of the evening who made the wrong life
and death decisions. Their reasons for staying put are as varied as
there are rose bushes in the state.
A mariner inherits a skull that screams incessantly along with the
roar of the sea; a phantom hare stalks the moors to deliver justice
for a crime long dead; a man witnesses a murder in the woods near
St. Ives, only to wonder whether it was he himself who committed
the crime. Offering a bounty of lost or forgotten strange and
Gothic tales set in Cornwall, Cornish Horrors explores the rich
folklore and traditions of the region in a journey through mines,
local mythology, shipwrecks, seascapes, and the coming of the
railway and tourism. With stories by Gothic luminaries such as Bram
Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe, this new collection also features
chilling yarns of the haunted peninsula from a host of
underappreciated writers from the past two centuries.
