Haunting of
America: A Road Guide to Nights in Haunted Places By Troy Taylor (New, Revised & Updated 2010) Special 10th Anniversary Edition! Ghost
stories, just like the deeds and sayings of our founding
fathers, are an essential part of American history. First-hand
encounters with the spirit world have been with us since the
settlers first arrived and made this land their own. Before
their arrival, the Native Americans had their own tales of
mysterious lights, eerie apparitions and strange creatures.
Tales of hauntings – and the haunted – have always been with us.
Few authors have captured the haunted side of our country in the
way that Troy Taylor has with his dozens of books about haunted
people and places. In this all-new, revised and updated
anniversary edition of his classic book, he takes on a road trip
to the darkest corners of America, revealing not our most
haunted places, but a rich history of hauntings from coast to
coast! This is not a re-hash of classic ghost stories but a
personal account of American haunts as only Troy Taylor can
present it! Featuring the true history behind familiar and
little-known locations, often setting the record straight about
ghostly spots we only thought we knew about! Join the author as
he presents his own encounters with the unexplained at famous
hauntings around the country, his personal list of America’s
most haunted spots, and in-depth accounts of the
story-behind-the-story and just what makes America so haunted!
This is a book – and a haunted road trip – that you don’t want
to miss! |
