Adults and children alike enjoy a good ghost tale. The Southern Mountain region is rich with haunted legends and superstitions. These short stories are previously unpublished and have been handed down for generations spanning nearly a century. * On a winding, dangerous road in Rich Mountain a lone driver offers a ride to a pale and sad young girl. He soon discovers that his silent passenger hasn't accompanied him to their destination, and he questions his sanity when he realizes she is gone. There is proof that she occupied the passenger seat, but where did she go? Hugh should consider himself lucky that she didn't stay along for the ride. * A coal miner seeks housing and employment in a small camp in West Virginia, but the only house available is known to be haunted. Previous residents report hearing wheezing and coughing from an unseen occupant hobbling on a cane throughout the house. Many families left the house to escape the haunt, but this miner doesn't believe in ghosts. Will disbelief be enough to do away with the ghostly legend, or will Jim actually discover that ghosts do exist? These and 10 more chilling stories of supernatural, superstition, ghosts and phantoms will incite you to consider the question do ghosts really exist? Can a spirit return from the grave to seek justice? Can a proclaimed fortune teller cast a spell of revenge? Can amulets and good luck charms change your destiny? Discover why the people of the Southern Appalachian Mountains delight in sharing stories around campfires at stir offs, pie suppers, and during brush arbor. Take a step back in time, get a chill down your spine next to a warm fire in the dark of night while smelling sweet sugar molasses. Are you ready to wander into the woods alone? Or will the spirits of the ridge keep you at bay?

Do ghosts exist? Mankind has pondered that question from time immemorial. Belief in the supernatural is as common in our society as going to the grocery store. Ask your neighbor if they believe in ghosts and you'll likely be regaled with the ghost stories they've heard over the years...or maybe ones they experienced themselves. Most everyone has sat around a campfire and laughed nervously at recounted tales of specters. Monsters abound in popular culture. They invade our books, movies and television shows. Ghost-hunting television shows are more popular than ever and many historical places now offer your own chance to get in on the hunt. We just can't seem to shake our fascination with all that goes bump in the night and our inexplicable search for that which sends shivers down our spine. Ghost Stories of Southern Appalachia recounts ghostly tales throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountain regions of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the dense mountain forests where Native American battles once raged, small mountain towns where time slows down, and populous urban areas steeped in Civil War history, tales of the supernatural abound. So sit back and turn on a light as you read about these Appalachian tales of haunted prisons, cursed caves, wandering spirits of long dead soldiers, terrifying taverns and the haunted hills of Southern Appalachia.

Dim the lights, and pull up a chair. In Bessie and the Grey Lady, I will share some highly personal ghost stories and paranormal experiences straight from the Appalachian Mountains where: a nosey ghost refuses to be excluded; a hideous figurine brings a family to crisis; a traveler is guided by a mysterious local who points out his own grave; an over-protective mother returns from the dead to oversee her distrusted daughter-in-law; and an embattled, young girl is tempted by an evil spirit to trade her burdens for a soulless existence. Many more spirits lurk within this collection, for in my family everyone had a ghost story - or two or three - even the skeptics. In these stories you will find no local folklore, urban legends, theatrical campfire tales, short stories with slick plots, or paranormal investigators with their electronic gadgets and cameras. Instead you will meet my family and hear the stories we recounted when the conversation turned spooky.

Nancy Roberts has often been described to as the "First Lady of American Folklore" and the title is well deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about their recollections of encounters with the supernatural. This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. Encouraged by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a "custodian of the twilight zone" by Southern Living magazine, Roberts based her suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which earned her a certificate of commendation from the American Association of State and Local History for her books on the Carolinas and Appalachia.

Thirteen plus one short tales by nine different Appalachian authors, an uprooting of tradition with another just for fun. A strong mix of history, speculation, and, perhaps, a wee bit of fear. These hills are listenin', child, so come sit a spell. You'll hear tales you ain't before; dark yahoos, wishes gone wrong, veil walkers, and someone's head might well roll. Ain't nothin' really, just a few new stories you can take back to the holler and share with you and yours. Maybe they'll shiver. Maybe you will too. And maybe, just maybe, you'll hug someone tight when things get scary enough. This is an anthology of nontraditional Appalachian ghost tales. It's not that we don't like the classics. Rather, we're ready for something new. By order of appearance: Part One: Short doesn't mean necessarily sweet. "Messages" by Deborah Marshall "Miss Vera" by Brenda M. G'Fellers "Can Johnny Come Home with Us?" by Rebecca Lynn "Strays" by Brenda M. G'Fellers "A Visit from a Peculiar Entity" by Jeanne G'Fellers Part Two: Here's to sad songs, rabid beasts, and things best left unseen. "Singin' Sally" by Sarah Elizabeth "Survival" by Brenda M. G'Fellers "Born with a Veil" by Jules Corriere "The Neighbors are Fantastic" by Jeanne G'Fellers "Pieces and Parts" by Anne G'Fellers-Mason "As Light Fades" by Kristin Pearson Part Three: Pull up a chair... if you ain't too scared.

Assistant professor of anthropology Parry Euphrates is ready for a change, and when her friend, guitar playing legend Adam Manly Singer, shows up, she is more than willing to lend an ear to Adam's proposal: to dig up the grave of a man made famous in a murder ballad. Adam sweetens his bid with descriptions of the peace and beauty of Hoagland Holler, West Virginia where the man is supposedly buried; also with nights spent around a campfire, sipping moonshine and serenading the stars with their guitars.It all sounds great to Parry. Yet little does she realize that in digging up the grave, she will also be resurrecting an old feud, and when the bullets start flying, she'll be looking for help from beyond the grave.
