Ghosts of the Carolina Coasts

I highly recommend this book to anyone, young or old, who loves a good ghost story, especially when it's told so well by a native Carolinian who has obviously spent many years researching and collecting her own favorite tales and who delights in sharing them with us. Some of her stories give you chills, some touch your heart and others make you think, late at night, "Something really is out there!!". For more intriguing tales also don't miss Terrance Zepke's "The Best Ghost Tales of North Carolina" and "Best Ghost Tales of South Carolina", which include not only marvelous regional ghost tales, but also explicit directions to the actual ghost-sighting sites; stories from the winners of her "Ghost Watch" contest and even detailed and fascinating instructions for conducting your own ghost hunt! Perhaps we could cast a spell on Ms. Zepke to keep her searching for more enticing ghost tales to share with us in the near future. She is definitely the best!

I've lived in South Carolina most of my life and never heard many of these stories. I love 'Sunset Lodge' and 'Murder at Cape Romain'! Great accompanying photos and sketches.

My favorite stories were Body in a Barrel, Presence at Hampton Plantation, and the Keeper's Daughter. The author did a fine job of including details regarding her investigations--right down to microfilm, newspaper clippings, parapsycologists, professional ghost hunters, detectives, eyewitness sightings, etc. My twelve year old son even loved it. He showed it to his teacher and she read some of the stories to the class!
