Book Synopsis Ghosts of the Southern Mountains and Appalachia by : Nancy Roberts

This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. 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 Southern Living 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.

Ghost-hunting television shows are more popular than ever and many historical places now offer your own chance to get in on the hunt. We just can't seem to shake our fascination with all that goes bump in the night and our inexplicable search for that which sends shivers down our spine. Ghost Stories of Southern Appalachia recounts ghostly tales throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountain regions of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the dense mountain forests where Native American battles once raged, small mountain towns where time slows down, and populous urban areas steeped in Civil War history, tales of the supernatural abound. So sit back and turn on a light as you read about these Appalachian tales of haunted prisons, cursed caves, wandering spirits of long dead soldiers, terrifying taverns and the haunted hills of Southern Appalachia.
