Whether you like sleeping among spirits or simply enjoy reading a
good ghost story, Haunted Inns of the Southeast is your
guide to ninety mysterious places across nine states. At the Don
Cesar Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida, you might witness a man
dressed like Panama Jack chatting with workers. He is Thomas Rowe,
the resort's founder, who died more than sixty years ago. At the
Andrew Jackson Hotel in New Orleans—America's most openly haunted
city—the courtyard is turned into a playground by orphans who
perished in a fire many years past. At the Grove Park Inn in
Asheville, North Carolina, author Sheila Turnage checks into room
545 and tries to solve the mystery of the "Pink Lady." In Union,
South Carolina, guests at the Merridun may be joined in bed by the
ghost of a little white dog. You'll be both chilled and amused by
these stories, some of which are related here for the first time by
the inns' owners and employees. You'll also appreciate the hard
information—addresses, phone numbers, price ranges—in case
you'd like to pay a visit. Sheila Turnage's Three Times LuckyMo and
Dale Mystery series was a Newbery Honor winner, New York Times
bestseller, Edgar Award Finalist, and E.B. White Read-Aloud Honor
book. Her writing has appeared in Southern
Living, Early American Homes, American
Legacy, International Poetry Review, and many other
publications. She lives on a farm in eastern North Carolina.
