Oldest Ghosts tells of unexplained exploits by the spirits dwelling in St. Augustine, the oldest city of European origin in the United States. Judge John Stickney watches from a tree limb above his cemetery monument. A Colonial-period ghost hangs laundry in a Spanish courtyard. The ghost of Will Green, who died in 1802, routinely enters the bodies of men drinking in a bar. Some residents and visitors tolerate the playful spirits. Others prefer not to acknowledge them. Either way, the ghosts abide.

A small Idaho town with larger-than-life spirits is investigated by a founding member of the Scientific Paranormal Investigative Research Organization. From the Native American tribes who first inhabited the land to the gold rush prospectors who flocked to the burgeoning town in the 1860s, Pocatello’s legacy is defined by fascinating historical figures and colorful characters. But many restless souls from the city’s past refuse to fade quietly into history. Join author John Brian as he records the voices and visions that haunt Pocatello today. Whether it’s the long-dead theater devotee who still attends shows at Frazier Hall, the specter of a woman who evaded a judge at the Bannock County Courthouse, or the many spirits that haunt a farm built on sacred Shoshoni tribal land, this collection proves that the Gate City is flooded with ghosts. Includes photos! “The stories in the book, Brian explains, are not reminiscent of exaggerated late-night horror flicks, but rather, the real life stories from the people who experienced them.” —Idaho State Journal

Travel beyond Bourbon Street into the macabre history of one of the most haunted cities in the United States with the author of Wicked New Orleans as your guide. New Orleans—the Big Easy, the birthplace of jazz, home of Cafe du Monde and what some call the most haunted city in America. Beneath the indulgence and revelry of the Crescent City lies a long history of the dark and mysterious. From the famous “Queen of Voodoo,” Marie Laveau, who is said to haunt the site of her grave, to the wicked LaLauries, whose true natures were hidden behind elegance and the trappings of high society, New Orleans is filled with spirits of all kinds. Some of the ghosts in these stories have sordid and scandalous histories, while others are friendly specters who simply can’t leave their beloved city behind. Join supernatural historian Troy Taylor as he takes readers beyond the French Quarter and shows a side of New Orleans never seen. Includes photos!

In Stalked by Spirits, Vivian relives these thrilling experiences. Over the years, she and her family have suffered violent phantom attacks, received small favors from a little girl ghost, negotiated with a demanding spirit, welcomed back a dearly departed pet, tolerated ghostly attendance at Girl Scout meetings, and even waged hair-raising battles with an evil entity threatening their baby daughter. Vivian takes you inside a variety of spirit-infested, often beautiful places, from a stone mansion in the Tennessee mountains to a century-old college dorm to the beloved Florida home that’s been in her family for generations.

Discover the haunting history of this town on the Texas coast—includes photos. One of the oldest cities in Texas, Galveston has witnessed more than its share of tragedies. Devastating hurricanes, yellow fever epidemics, fires, a major Civil War battle, and more cast a dark shroud on the city’s legacy. Ghostly tales creep throughout the history of famous tourist attractions and historical homes. The altruistic spirit of a schoolteacher who heroically pulled victims from the floodwaters during the great hurricane of 1900 roams the Strand. The ghosts of Civil War soldiers march up and down the stairs at night and pace in front of the antebellum Rogers Building. The spirit of an unlucky man decapitated by an oncoming train haunts the railroad museum, moving objects and crying in the night. In this fascinating book, Kathleen Shanahan Maca explores these and other haunted tales from the Oleander City.
