Nancy Roberts's Southern Ghost Lore Revival--Exhumed and Improved
for Fearless Reader. Nancy Roberts has often been described to as
the "First Lady of American Folklore" and the Title is well
deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented
supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about
their recollections of encounters with the supernatural. This
nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly
realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. Encouraged
by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts
wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a "custodian of the
twilight zone" by Southern Living magazine, Roberts based her
suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of
American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which
earned her a certificate of commendation from the American
Association of State and Local History for her books on the
Carolinas and Appalachia.
