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.
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.
Seaside Spectres collects ghost stories from the coastal region of
North Carolina as part of the Haunted North Carolina series. This
book includes stories told around beach campfires, in grandma’s
attic, and on nighttime drives to the coast. There are thirty-three
stories in all, one for each coastal county, including tales of
ghosts, witches, demons, spook lights, unidentified flying objects,
unexplained phenomena, and more. In “The Cursed Town,” an
eighteenth-century preacher curses the town of Bath—a curse from
which the town never recovered. “Terrors of the Swamp” details
the unexplained happenings in the Great Dismal Swamp—mysterious
lights, a haunting from the American Revolution, and a creature
called the Dismal Swamp Freak. In “The Fraternity of Death,”
readers meet the nineteenth-century cult whose members mocked the
Last Supper and died under mysterious circumstances soon afterward,
inspiring a story by Robert Louis Stephenson. Seaside Spectres
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 state’s central
region, Piedmont Phantoms.
