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.
