Piedmont Phantoms collects ghost stories from the populous central
region of North Carolina as part of the Haunted North Carolina
series. This book includes stories told around campfires, in
grandma's attic, and on nighttime drives on the backroads of the
Piedmont. There is a story for each county in the Piedmont, forty
in all, including tales of ghosts, witches, demons, spook lights,
unidentified flying objects, unexplained phenomena, and more.
"Capitol Haunts," the Wake County story, tells of strange doings at
the State Capitol-an unoccupied elevator moving from floor to
floor, an unseen hand touching a security guard, the sounds of
books falling off shelves and barrels rolling down stairs. "Ghostly
Legacy of the Swamp Fox," the Robeson County story, introduces the
spirits of the traitor who betrayed Revolutionary War general
Francis Marion and the Highland Scot girl who made him do it. "The
Hunter at the Zoo," the Randolph County story, describes the ghost
of the Confederate recruiter who once hunted human prey at what is
now North Carolina Zoological Park. Piedmont Phantoms contains a
new foreword by Scott Mason, WRAL's "Tar Heel Traveler" and author
of three North Carolina guidebooks. Other books in the Haunted
North Carolina series feature tales of the mountains, Haints of the
Hills, and tales of the coast, Seaside Spectres.
Haints of the Hills collects ghost stories from North Carolina's
mountainous west as part of the Haunted North Carolina series. This
book includes stories told around campfires, in grandma's attic,
and on nighttime drives on the curvy roads of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. There is a story for each county in western North
Carolina, twenty-seven in all, among them tales of ghosts, witches,
demons, spook lights, unidentified flying objects, unexplained
phenomena, and more. Readers will be chilled to learn of the
red-and-white-striped monstrosity that may still inhabit the Valley
River at the site the Indians called the "Leech Place," as told in
the Cherokee County story, "The Giant Bloodsucker." They'll be
warmed by the Christ-like stranger who came to Bat Cave to repair a
rift between neighbors, then vanished as mysteriously as he
arrived, as revealed in the Henderson County story, "The
Carpenter." They'll want to travel the lonely stretch of road in
Avery County where locals have witnessed the spirit of Captain
Robert Sevier, the seven-foot-tall hero of the American Revolution,
as laid out in "The Long Trek Home." Haints of the Hills contains a
new foreword by Scott Mason, WRAL's "Tar Heel Traveler" and author
of three North Carolina guidebooks. Other books in the Haunted
North Carolina series feature tales of the coast, Seaside Spectres,
and tales of the state's central region, Piedmont Phantoms.
There's not much that Lex Anderson and Scott Mason have in common,
except their love for Christ and for this generation. In their
book, "Beauty & Disgrace," you will get a glimpse into what
life was like for each of them growing up. Lex grew up in a strong
Christian home and stayed away from trouble while Scott spent 10
years in 16 different prisons. Through their stories, you will see
how God crafted together their lives and how He brought them to
where they are today. Two different worlds and two different
stories with one common goal: to help a broken world understand and
realize that they too have a God written story waiting to unfold.
