Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do ghosts exist? Mankind has pondered that question from time immemorial. Belief in the supernatural is as common in our society as going to the grocery store. Ask your neighbor if they believe in ghosts and you'll likely be regaled with the ghost stories they've heard over the years...or maybe ones they experienced themselves. Most everyone has sat around a campfire and laughed nervously at recounted tales of specters. Monsters abound in popular culture. They invade our books, movies and television shows. Ghost-hunting television shows are more popular than ever and many historical places now offer your own chance to get in on the hunt. We just can't seem to shake our fascination with all that goes bump in the night and our inexplicable search for that which sends shivers down our spine. Ghost Stories of Southern Appalachia recounts ghostly tales throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountain regions of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the dense mountain forests where Native American battles once raged, small mountain towns where time slows down, and populous urban areas steeped in Civil War history, tales of the supernatural abound. So sit back and turn on a light as you read about these Appalachian tales of haunted prisons, cursed caves, wandering spirits of long dead soldiers, terrifying taverns and the haunted hills of Southern Appalachia.

Hugh should consider himself lucky that she didn't stay along for the ride. * A coal miner seeks housing and employment in a small camp in West Virginia, but the only house available is known to be haunted. Previous residents report hearing wheezing and coughing from an unseen occupant hobbling on a cane throughout the house. Many families left the house to escape the haunt, but this miner doesn't believe in ghosts.

This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
