Download or read book Haunted Ozarks written by Janice Tremeear and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hills have scares in this haunted history of the Ozark Mountains from the paranormal investigator and author of Missouri’s Haunted Route 66. Tourists flock to the Ozarks region every year to dip their paddles in the pure waters of its wilderness, or to lose themselves in the happy bustle of its theme parks. But the serene hills and hollows often hide something darker. The Civil War and the Trail of Tears left their marks on the region, as did the James-Younger Gang and the Baldknobbers. Ghosts linger in resorts and penitentiaries, while UFO’s and buried treasure rest in uneasy graves. Those startled by seeing a hellhound run through their backyard, however, might also catch a glimpse of author Janice Tremeear and her team of researchers in hot pursuit of the mysteries of the Ozarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the Search for Lost Treasure First popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver in 1928, the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. In the 1860s, Gold was taken from Adams’ canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hen’s eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Tales of the Ozark Howler by : Hawthorne Cornus
Download or read book Tales of the Ozark Howler written by Hawthorne Cornus and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of the Ozark Howler shares the folklore surrounding the legendary but mysterious dark beast that has long haunted the remote hills and hollers of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma: The Ozark Howler. This book collects folktales, eyewitness accounts, archival documents, and folk wisdom about the strange creature, a massive shaggy haired predator larger than a bear said to have glowing red eyes and a pair of large horns sprouting from the top of its head. This nightmare of the American South has haunted generations of families with its strange, mournful howls.Originally published in 1936 by a small, local printer shortly before the death of its author, Saul Ashton, Tales of the Ozark Howler was quickly pulled from distribution by family members who were scandalized by Ashton's interracial love affairs, atheism, and affiliation with the Communist Party. By suppressing the book, they hoped to end their embarrassment and restore the reputation of their conservative family.With the death of the last remaining members of this generation of the Ashton clan, Hawthorne Cornus was given permission to finally republish the short book, which remains unchanged from the original, except for a new foreword explaining the long struggle over its publication.With the distance of a few decades, the political, religious, racial, and cultural subtexts of this neglected work of American folklore have become clear. Is the monster the Howler itself, or the people who have pushed it to lurk in the margins? For those readers who are interested in the roots of Ozark culture, and for those who simply enjoy a frightening story, Tales of the Ozark Howler is sure to provide a pleasantly unusual reading experience.

Book Synopsis Haunting Experiences by : Diane Goldstein
Download or read book Haunting Experiences written by Diane Goldstein and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
