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.

In this book, you'll find plenty of evidence that the supernatural is alive in the Golden Isles. Crumbling slave cabins, plantation homes and grand mansions, ancient forts, even a hospital that once cared for the five hundred slaves of Retreat Plantation -- all have their own aura, created by those long since dead. A silent Indian couple wanders, looking with pleading eyes to anyone who can help find something precious lost long ago. The ghost of a lonely woman still haunts the theater where she killed herself. Two men grapple with swords in a graveyard, replaying a scene from their lives again and again. -- A woman visiting an old inn experiences deja vu when she is transported to an elegant party that took place there a century before. The ghost of a young polo player killed in a bizarre horseback riding accident strides silently through the place that was his last destination on earth. These stories of restless souls, heartbroken lovers, skin-walkers, and protective spirits will give you a case of the creeps. Keep the lights on!

During one of the hottest summers on record, a group of friends got together for that most American of traditions: the road trip. But this was no ordinary journey. Over the course of ten days and nights, this team of paranormal investigators set out to explore ten of the country's most haunted locations. Traveling thousands of miles in search of uniquely American ghosts, their quest took them to an asylum whose former inmates are said to speak from beyond the grave; a jail with ties to a nearby house with a very dark reputation; the hallowed ground of one of the Civil War's most fearsome battles; and a house believed to be haunted by the spirit of a little girl, who may be something entirely more sinister... Join Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Hospitals" and "Paranormal 911") and his intrepid band on their odyssey to encounter things that go bump in the night. THE GREAT AMERICAN GHOST TRIP
