Haunted Homeland | Free Book
Trapped miners from cave-ins long ago still calling for help.
Ghostly
women lurking in the shadows of city streets.
Spectral holy men
and outlaws from America's Spanish past making appearances in our
modern age.
They are all citizens of Haunted America,
and this is
HAUNTED HOMELAND.
From a haunted
castle in the wilds of Alaska to phantom clergymen in the Southwest
and mysterious bouncing lights on the East Coast, this latest volume
covers the places, the people, and the things that belong to the
earthbound realm of the fantastic. Michael Norman has gathered
together spectral events of all kinds--apparitions of the famous
like Mary Surratt, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Mad Anthony Wayne; haunted
crime scenes in Chicago and along the Indiana byways; as well as
banshees, poltergeists, and even a ghost named George who has become
an accepted resident in a house in North Carolina.
Some
of these tales date back to America's early days, such as the
screaming woman of Marblehead, Massachusetts, while others rise from
more contemporary sources, like noted mystery writer Mary Robert
Rhinehart's encounter with ghost at a house on Long Island.
A
ghostly Supreme Court Justice, a specter known as The Texan, an
abandoned Canadian bride reminiscent of Dickens's Miss Haversham,
and many others make an appearance in this latest chronicle of the
Haunted American landscape.

investigation. Engrossing and entertaining. . . . Norman and Scott
spin good yarns with fun, fact, and fright.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“It's a road map to the Other Side. Take a left at the
cemetery. Go down Highway 666 until you hit a dead end. And you're
there. Haunted America.” —The Milwaukee Journal
