About this ebook

"Vibrant . . . entertaining. Tales of murder, sex, madness, and revenge make Haunted America both intriguing and amusing." —The New York Times Book Review

Flying Dutchman, poltergeists, vengeful wraiths, child ghosts, phantom trains, houses of evil, headless horsemen . . .

Haunted America will take you on a grand tour of ghostly gatherings through the United States and Canada, sweeping you from the terrifying battlefield spirits at Little Big Horn to a vaudeville palace in Tampa, from ghostly apparitions in President Garfield's home in Ohio to the most famous home of presidents, the White House. Every state in the Union is represented, with over seventy terrifying tales in all!

The authors have traveled coast to coast, interviewing eyewitnesses firsthand, unearthing accounts from ancient archives, and spending frightening nights alone in haunted houses. In their many years of research, Michael Norman and Beth Scott have collected and documented America's most terrifying unexplained occurrences.

Haunted America is the comprehensive compendium of American ghost legends, from sea to haunted sea.
