Haunted America
4 primary works
Book 1
From the terrifying battlefield specters at Little Big Horn to a possessed vaudeville palace in Tampa, from ghostly apparitions in President Garfield's home in Ohio to hauntings of President Clinton's White House in DC, Michael Norman and Beth Scott tell stories so terrifyingly real that even the most sceptical reader will believe. The authors have travelled coast to coast, getting stories from every state in the Union, interviewing witnesses first-hand, and spending terrifying nights alone in haunted houses. In their fifteen years of research, Norman and Scott have discovered America's most astounding ghost stories.
Book 2
Continuing on the success of "Haunted America" is a further investigation into North American ghost legends, a comprehensive compendium documenting yesterday and today's most shocking hauntings in the United States and Canada. From the ghost-ridden forts in Old Tucson to the 'Inn of the 17 Ghosts' near Philadelphia, from the haunted plantations of Louisiana and Georgia to a haunted community playhouse in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Michael Norman and Beth Scott tell stories of the past and present so terrifyingly real that even the most sceptical reader will believe.
Book 3
The latest in the bestselling series of Americana occult folklore collections that have included "Haunted America" and "Historic Haunted America", "Haunted Heritage" brings together yet another amazing collection of spectral tales from all across the United States and Canada. The tales - based on interviews, public records, and family histories - reach from coast to coast in the United States and Canada. Some involve famous families (such as that of American patriot Nathan Hale), and some, famous events (such as the Battle of Little Big Horn). Some ghosts are gentle and benevolent (a family member watching over his/her descendants), others vengeful and disruptive (the unresting souls of the wrongfully dead).
Book 4
"Haunted Homeland" continues the "Haunted America" series recounting of supernatural explorations. It is a comprehensive collection of ghostly tales, not penned by fictioneers such as Poe and King, but passed on by word of mouth and preserved by memory as windows to our nation's haunted past. From a haunted castle in the wilds of Alaska to phantom clergymen in the southwest and mysterious bouncing lights on the east coast, this latest volume covers the places, the people, and the things that belong to the earthbound realm of the fantastic. Norman has gathered together spectral events of all kinds: apparitions of the famous like Mary Surratt, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Mad Anthony Wayne, haunted crime scenes in Chicago and along the Indiana byways, as well as banshees, poltergeists, and even a ghost named George who has become an accepted resident in a house in North Carolina. These anecdotes are not the stuff of imaginary nightmares, but of tales told second-hand of personal encounters with the haunted parts of America.
