"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. "It's a road map to the Other Side. Take a left at the cemetery. Go down Highway 666 until you hit a dead end. And you're there. Haunted America." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Haunted America provides a deliciously disturbing collection of stories from every state of the Union and Canada . . . Norman and Scott spin good yarns with fun, fact and fright." ―Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Full of eerie specters and haunted houses, including the White House, this book will captivate readers of all ages. An excellent source of spine-tingling narratives for Halloween night or spooky campfire fun." —Library Journal
