Whether you like sleeping
among spirits or simply enjoy reading a good ghost story, Haunted
Inns of the Southeast is your guide to ninety mysterious places
across nine states.
At the Don Cesar Resort in
St. Petersburg, Florida, you might witness a man dressed like Panama
Jack chatting with workers. He is Thomas Rowe, the resort's founder, who
died more than sixty years ago. At the Andrew Jackson Hotel in New
Orleans--America's most openly haunted city--the courtyard is turned
into a playground by orphans who perished in a fire many years past. At
the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, author Sheila Turnage
checks into room 545 and tries to solve the mystery of the "Pink
Lady." In Union, South Carolina, guests at the Merridun may be
joined in bed by the ghost of a little white dog.
You'll be both chilled and
amused by these stories, some of which are related here for the first
time by the inns' owners and employees. You'll also appreciate the hard
information--addresses, phone numbers, price ranges--in case you'd like
to pay a visit.
