Georgia could not have asked for a better chronicler of its
ghostly abodes and spectral inhabitants. --Dennis
William Hauck, author of Haunted Places: The National
Directory
Georgia natives and adventurous tourists who want something
different from the standard travel guide now have a chilling
alternate--a collection of supernatural tales frightening
enough to satisfy even the most discerning ghost hunter.
--Michael Norman, co-author of Haunted America,
Historic Haunted America, and Haunted Heartland
As the author of
twelve ghost story collections, Nancy Roberts may certainly
be considered an expert on the subject of the supernatural.
Now she turns her attention to Georgia, capturing over fifty
chilling stories from the Peachtree State.
Perhaps no other
city in this country is as haunted as Savannah. Beneath this
city's romantic facade lies a multitude of eerie tales.
Here, Roberts describes the pirates that still reside in the
Pirates' House Restaurant, the angry spirit who haunts the
Shrimp Factory restaurant, the strange happenings in the
house of Jim Williams--the central character in the book
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil--and many other
spooky stories.
The ghost stories
of Savannah are only the beginning, though, for Georgia
Ghosts takes you on a supernatural tour throughout the
state. On St. Simons Island, you will shiver at the account
of the ghost who haunts the island's lighthouse. In Atlanta,
you'll hear of the ghost who now resides in the "Uncle Remus"
House. In Fayetteville, you'll learn why the legendary
gunslinger "Doc" Holliday still waits outside the home of a
lost love. And you will wonder about the identity of the
mysterious man responsible for Georgia's own version of
Stonehenge located near Elberton.
From haunted
college towns and opera houses to tales of werewolves that
roam the countryside, no other collection covers the
contemporary and classic ghost stories of the state as
completely as Georgia Ghosts. |
