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?
Take a ghostly tour of Wisconsin to learn myths, legends, and ghost
stories that haunt this historic state. Visit a menagerie of
spirits at Chances Restaurant in Rochester where ghosts make food
disappear and turn stove burners off and on. Encounter desk-tossing
ghosts at one of two haunted schools, and smell the horrible odor
that lingers around the witch ghost of Callan Road. Be comforted by
ghosts in the Ramada Plaza in Fond du Lac, or shocked by entities
of ghosts that relive their deaths unaware that anyone can see
them. Whether indoor, outdoor, human, or animal, Wisconsin has
truly frightening spirits...all with one thing in common: They will
stay with you long after you put this book down.
An illustrated collection Of ghost stories covering the Cotswolds
by Bob Meredith. And as Bob says: There still lingers in those
pockets of the mind where shadows are turned into demons and where
things go bump in the night, a flutter of the heart when the clock
strikes twelve and a yearning for the firelight hearths where
children listen to ghost stories on long, cold winter nights". The
ghost story is not just a part of history. It is history! Another

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.
