Haunted Pennsylvania (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940087771)

By Jannette Quackenbush

Enter the haunted heart of the Keystone State, where every hollow, mountain, and mill town holds a ghost story.
In Haunted Pennsylvania, folklorist and author Jannette Quackenbush gathers authentic Pennsylvania ghost stories and folklore drawn from historical archives, oral traditions, and 19th-century newspapers. These are the true accounts that shaped Pennsylvania's reputation as one of America's most haunted states.

From the battlefields of Gettysburg to the coal mining towns of the Alleghenies, from Erie's haunted shores to the shadowed farm valleys of Lancaster, the past refuses to rest. Encounter the spirits of miners who never escaped the shafts, weeping ghosts and witches of mountain lore, and phantoms who wander old inns, bridges, and forgotten railways.

Quackenbush-author of more than fifty books on American ghost stories, Appalachian folklore, and cryptid legends-combines decades of fieldwork and historical research to preserve the real accounts behind Pennsylvania's legends.

Every haunting is traced to its earliest known source, revealing the people, places, and tragedies that gave rise to the tales still whispered today.

If you're drawn to true ghost stories, Pennsylvania hauntings, or regional folklore, Haunted Pennsylvania is your essential companion to the eerie side of the Keystone State-where the line between history and haunting fades away.
