Readers of this book will venture deep into the dark and mysterious side of the American South and discover the heart-palpitating, eyewitness accounts of ghosts, poltergeists, and voices from beyond the grave which still linger. Included are the horrifying stories that have left their blood-stained imprints on North Carolina's history, as well as modern, never-before-told hauntings from prominent individuals, businesses, and other locations. “These stories have the making for great terror films.”―Sara Karloff, daughter of horror icon Boris Karloff “James Parker is a skilled storyteller who creates intriguing narratives enhanced by atmospheric trappings, especially well suited to the ghost story genre. In addition, he brings a historian’s gift for research that gives his stories a verisimilitude which makes them even more hauntingly believable―and unsettling.”―Robert Pohle, official biographer to Sir Christopher Lee As the son of two horror television hosts, as well as being born on October 13th, James M. Parker has always had a unique interest in the paranormal. As a psychology major, and being certified in historical studies through Harvard University, he has set out on the quest to bring to light-or perhaps to life-the hidden and haunted reality of North Carolina. He has combined his academic and professional knowledge of the paranormal to bring about this bone-chilling collection of true, paranormal hauntings.
