Ghost Stories of the Appalachians

In the mysterious shadows of the Appalachian Mountains, ghosts linger long after their bodies have been put to rest. This old, eroded mountain chain stretches from northern Alabama in the south all the way to Maine in the northeast. Veteran ghost stories writer Susan Smitten has written a spine-tingling collection of tales to thrill and entertain:


-- In Tryon, North Carolina, a woman's great-grandmother continues to watch over her family from beyond the grave

-- East Tennessee State University has been called the most haunted campus in the southern United States

-- The old lunatic asylum in Weston, West Virginia, is a ghost hunter's paradise

-- The first owner of the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa in North Carolina is not the only ghost that haunts it
-- Old habits die hard--or don't die at all--for the founder of the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia
-- The Greystone Inn on Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, is haunted by the woman who once called it home
-- A murdered woman's spirit roams the hills surrounding Logan, West Virginia, searching for justice
-- Paranormal encounters are common in Tennessee's Appalachian Caverns
-- Barley's Taproom in Asheville, North Carolina, has both liquid spirits and ethereal spirits
