<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rich in Native American, Colonial, and Civil War history, North Carolina harbors ghosts from tidewater to mountains.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>North Carolina is rich in Native American, Colonial, and Civil War history, and this heritage brings stories of ghosts and creatures from coastal tidewater to the western mountains. Readers will encounter the spirit of infant Virginia Dare in the form of a white deer, shipwreck survivors guided by ghosts to safety, a Halifax County reverend's encounter with the Devil, phantom marauders at Hannah's Creek Swamp, the spirit who directed his will from the grave, hauntings in the State Capitol, and mysterious figures at Devil's Stairs.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Reading line: Eerie tales and spine-tingling stories from the Tar Heel State Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder...let your imagination run wild as you read about North Carolina's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the spirits in the Uwharrie Mountains or the white deer of Hatteras, but perhaps you haven't you heard about: the 250-year-old curse on the old town of Bath; Hatteras Jack, a white bottlenose dolphin that for years guided ships safely through a dangerous inlet near Bodie Island; The pegleg ghost whose distinctive thump-step echoes from a hidden staircase in Raleigh's White-Holman House; and The flaming phantom ship that plies the waters near Ocracoke Island every year on the anniversary of the murder and plunder of its wealthy passengers by their greedy caption and crew. Patty A. Wilson lives in central Pennsylvania and has been a writer and historian for over twenty years. She is the author of The Pennsylvania Ghost Guide and The Big Book of Pennsylvania Ghost Stories, and coauthor of Boos & Brews with Scott Crownover and Haunted Pennsylvania with Mark Nesbitt.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Patty A.
