Download or read book Haunted Hikes written by Andrea Lankford and published by Santa Monica Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts! Curses! Hoaxes! Unsolved mysteries! Paranormal events! Take a walk on the creepy side of North America's National Parks! Andrea Lankford, a 12-year veteran ranger with the National Park Service, has written a thoroughly investigated yet often tongue-in-cheek guidebook that takes the reader to the scariest, most mysterious places inside North America's National Parks. Lankford shares such eerie tales as John Brown's haunting of Harper's Ferry, the disembodied legs that have been seen running around inside the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center, and the "wailing woman" who roams the trail behind the Grand Canyon Lodge. Lankford also uncovers paranormal activities park visitors have experienced, such as the chupacabra that roams the swamps inside Big Thicket National Preserve and the teenage bigfoot who rolled a park service campground with toilet paper. She also reports on long-forgotten unsolved murders, such as the savage stabbing of a young woman on Yosemite's trail to Mirror Lake, and the execution style shooting of two General Motors executives at Crater Lake. The witnesses to the supernatural occurrences are highly credible people-rangers, park historians, river guides, and the like-and each tale has factual relevance to the cultural or natural history of the park. Haunted Hikes provides readers with all the information they need: for each hike: a "fright factor rating" is listed along with trailhead access information, detailed trail maps, and hike difficulty levels. Most of the haunted sites included in the book can be reached by the average hiker, some are wheelchair accessible, and others are for intrepid backpackers willing to make multi-day treks into wilderness areas. Intriguing photographs of many sites are included. Haunted Hikes is sure to satisfy readers looking for those spine-tingling moments when you begin to wonder if maybe, just maybe, we are not alone.

Download or read book Linmill Stories written by Robert McLellan and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced by J.K. Annand. Best known as the playwright of Jamie the Saxt and Jeddart Justice, Robert McLellan has been called the finest writer of Scots prose in our time. His ‘Linmill’ stories were broadcast by the BBC, one of which, ‘The Donegals’ was made into a film. But for the most part McLellan’s prose work has appeared in magazines or anthologies without being fully collected in book form. Their popularity has endured and now all twenty-four of his tales are available in one volume. Based on the author’s youthful memories of his grandparents’ fruit farm near Lanark, these finely observed stories give us a priceless insight into a generation now lost to us, and a timeless evocation of the world seen through the eyes of a young boy. There is honesty, compassion, harshness and humour in these stories, and McLellan’s quiet voice adds a unique wit and an unsentimental authenticity to the telling. ‘This must rank [among] the finest prose-poetry of Scottish childhood that we have.’ Douglas Gifford ‘It is possible to find light and depth in each of these stories, yet their common engine is neither plot nor character, but McLellan’s use of language. It is hard not to agree with J.K. Annand’s final assessment that Robert McLellan is “the greatest writer of Scots prose in the twentieth century”.’ Books in Scotland

Download or read book Stories of Alaska written by June McLane and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of Alaska By: June McLane Stories of Alaska by June McLane tells of her exciting and adventurous life in Alaska in the 1970's This book describes details on what life was like at that time in the severe and freezing climate of rural Alaska. She lived alone in a small community at the edge of Mt. McKinley National Park. She had to attend to various and necessary details of living like filling and cleaning her kerosene lamps, bringing in the wood and splitting kindling, hauling water and other daily tasks. There are savoring memories of amusing people and old timers in the area. She worked for the National Park Service there and was part of a winter skeleton crew. Ms. McLane loves books, writing, studying, music and radio. Her way of life was different, as that kind of living is not a very familiar way of life for many readers, nor is it unusual, especially in Alaska. It is her hope that her book will inspire others to be adventurous in their lives and to bring their dreams to fruition.
