Ghosts and Legends of Lake Erie's North Coast by Victoria King Heinsen Pdf

Call it Lake Eerie, according to this book “filled with ghostly encounters of the friendly kind with a bit of local history mixed in” (Toledo Blade). The residents of Lake Erie’s North coast have trouble leaving—even after they die. The area is flooded with the spirits of locals, some friendly, some not. See the sorrowful eyes of the Hauntingly Beautiful High School Student, who floats the corridors looking for her lost boyfriend, and head to an old Port Clinton hotel to watch the ghost of a maintenance man wander haphazardly through the inn, making routine repairs. Read about the figure that lurks in the clock of the Port Clinton Courthouse every night, never moving, simply watching, until disappearing with the sun. Local ghost tour guide Victoria King Heinsen has a personal connection with every story, and her firsthand accounts will turn every paranormal skeptic into a believer. Includes photos!
