The author of Haunted Nevada explores the spooky goings-on in the city named one of the top-three most haunted towns in America. Unlike any city in America, Virginia City epitomizes the notion of a western boom-and-bust ghost town. The Comstock Silver Rush lured wealth seekers from around the world, including a young Samuel Clemens. Despite the fortune some found, not all of the town’s earliest settlers rest easy. Shops, hotels, boardwalks, and cemeteries are said to be filled with the supernatural remnants of Virginia City’s hardscrabble characters and their violent propensities. The queen of haunted Nevada, Janice Oberding, mines Virginia City’s spectral history, from the ghost of Henry Comstock to the ghostly Rosie and William of the Gold Hill Hotel. “Virginia City is known for its rich mining history that designated Nevada as the Silver State. But to local residents and paranormal investigators, it’s better known as a place to look for ghostly dwellers.” —Reno Gazette Journal

I term my books "Historic-Paranormal." There is extensive research involved for the history sections, and the paranormal segment information are from the findings Paranormal team I am part of - Thin Veil Investigators - discovered. Nevada Historical Society's Docent and Special Works/Projects Historian, and I are creating particular "Weird" volumes. "Weird 'Haunted' Virginia City" is NOT a cute ghost-story-telling book. This volume recites from extensive research into factual incidents, presenting some of the bazaar, strange and odd passing of personages, including cases of inhumane behaviors to fellow residents, as well as descriptions, reports and anecdotes of some of the major destruction that occurred during the city's "halcyon days." These pages offer the reader a compelling insight that may show a contributing relationship to the numerous spirit presences involving themselves in earthly matters throughout this very haunted location: Virginia City, Nevada.

Virginia City is Nevada's most haunted city. Ghosts and history abound in this city built on the side of Mt. Davidson from the riches of the Comstock Lode. The famous and the infamous have walked these wooden sidewalks; the miners, and the millionaires, the gunslingers, the ladies of the evening, and everyone else who dreamed of silver. Here in Virginia City, Mark Twain began his writing career, and witnessed the public hanging of a convicted killer. Some say his lonely ghost still walks these streets. He is not alone. Hauntings are everyday occurrences on the Comstock. When the sun goes down, the ghosts are lively; especially in Virginia City.

Discover the haunted history of this Florida Gulf Coast city with tales of battles, murders, natural disasters and the restless spirits they left behind. Located on the coast of Florida’s panhandle, Panama City offers plenty of charm, fun and sun. But it also has a dramatic past that still lingers among its old buildings and historic landmarks. Staff at the City Center for the Arts can still hear the footsteps of inmates pacing the cells of the Old County Jail that once occupied the grounds, and a phantom known as Virginia still frequents the elevators of the historic Bay County Courthouse. Not all spirits bring doom and gloom, however—one local family learned how to befriend the resident ghost of their new home that was fond of whistling at night. Using extensive research and interviews, author Beverly Nield details the ghastly history of haunted Panama City.

The author of The Big Book of Virginia Ghost Stories focuses on the “Scare City”: “If you believe in ghosts, this is the book for you” (The Roanoke Times). Roanoke, in the heart of southwestern Virginia, is one of the most haunted cities in the commonwealth. The Star City is brimming with eerie and unexplainable stories, such as the legendary “Woman in Black,” who appeared several times in 1902, but only to married men on their way home at night. There are also macabre stories in many of Roanoke’s famous landmarks, such as the majestic Grandin Theatre, where a homeless family is said to have lived—and the cries of their deceased children can still be heard. Travel beyond the realm of reality with author L.B. Taylor Jr. as he traces the history of Roanoke’s most unique and chilling tales. Includes photos! “I like the ghost story books of L.B. Taylor, Jr., a Virginia author, because he blends history and true ghost stories so wonderfully. He doesn’t make judgments about each ghost story, but presents the facts and lets you decide for yourself. . . . So if you’re in a ghostly mood this October—or if you’re just a history lover—Taylor’s books are well worth your time.” —Eagle-Eyed Editor
