Hauntings lurk and spirits linger in the heart of America Reader,
beware! Turn these pages and enter the world of the paranormal,
where ghosts and ghouls alike creep just out of sight. Author James
A. Willis shines a light in the dark corners of Ohio and scares
those spirits out of hiding in this thrilling collection. From
ghostly soldiers that still haunt Fort Meigs to the eerie Franklin
Castle, there's no shortage of bone-chilling tales to keep you up
at night. There's even a carved tombstone of an infant at Cedar
Hill cemetery, whose ghostly eyes keep watch over those wander too
close. Around the campfire or tucked away on a dark and stormy
night, this big book of ghost stories is a hauntingly good read.
A selection of the state's bone-chilling stories of the paranormal,
including . . .
- The ghosts of Kendallville's Strand Theatre
- San Pierre's Dog-Headed Woman
- The haunted Purple Head Bridge near Vincennes
- Indianapolis's House of Blue Lights
- The creepy 100 Steps Cemetery outside of Brazil
Ohio's premier paranormal researcher looks for the spirits behind
the stories Many of Ohio's historically significant locations have
developed a reputation for being haunted. While it might be almost
impossible to prove the validity of the paranormal tales that
surround them, one thing is clear: ghost stories help to keep
history alive. But the questions remain: How did these stories get
started? More important, are any of them tied directly to actual
historic events? And do any facts support the ghost lore?Rather
than rely on second- and third-person accounts, author and
paranormal researcher James A. Willis sat down with the owners,
employees, and patrons of Ohio locations that are said to be
haunted - the Arts Castle in Delaware, the Fairport Harbor Marine
Museum, the Haunted Hydro in Fremont, Loveland Castle, the
Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, the Ohio State Reformatory in
Mansfield, the Zanesville Community Theatre, and many others. After
conducting more than 200 hours of one-on-one interviews, Willis was
able to piece together unique histories for each location,
including eyewitness accounts from people who believed they
experienced paranormal activity. But Willis wasn't content to stop
with first-person accounts. He also brought high-tech
"ghost-hunting" equipment into each location and spent a night
attempting to collect empirical data to see if he could experience
a paranormal encounter himself. What were the results of these
vigils? You'll have to read the book to find out! Come along on a
journey with Willis as he travels to the crossroads where history
and folklore collide, and visit the fascinating Ohio locations
where the past comes alive - in more ways than one!
