Do you believe in ghosts? Well, if you are unlike our pre-historic ancestors or ancient Greeks and Romans or early Christians or more than half of the U.S. population, American Ghosts Stories: True Tales from All 50 States might just make you a true believer! Whether or not you already believe in phantoms and spirits, you’re invited to join the author as he tours the country and explores the many dark and nightmarish pathways leading to the shadowy world of apparitions and hauntings. This spellbinding collection of 50 true ghost stories, haunted places, and first-person encounters with the supernatural, includes …
Maine’s Nelly Butler, America’s “first ghost.”
Kentucky’s Bobby Mackey’s Music World, which was originally built as a slaughterhouse and then served at various times as a honky-tonk, bingo hall, biker bar, and cocktail lounge before becoming a direct portal to Hell.
Rhode Island’s Mercy Lena Brown, the vampire ghost that was caught on a YouTube video.
California’s maze-like Winchester House, which was allegedly designed to confuse ghosts that haunted the original owner … and have continued to haunt people every since.
Oklahoma’s Skirvin Hotel, the historic Art Deco hotel, former speakeasy, and location of several gunfights that is haunted full time by Effie, a Prohibition-era chambermaid.
Alabama’s Maple Hill Cemetery, the internment site for governors, U.S. senators, representatives, and soldiers that is the site of … a playground!
New Mexico’s Pavla Blanca, the woman in white roaming the dunes of the White Sand National Monument.
And many more paranormal experiences, poltergeists, residual hauntings, curses, witches, prisons, bridges, mental institutions of an America plagued with spirits, phantoms and ghosts!
More than merely a collection of 50 true ghost stories, American Ghost Stories puts you in the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is that these stories aren't urban legends or fantasies meant to scare you. These stories live right next door to every one of us. We suggest you don’t read them when you are home alone and the lights begin to flicker!
