Product info

<p>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.</p><p>This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the <i>Charlotte Observer</i>. 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 <i>Southern Living</i> 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.</p>
