Paperback. Condition: Good. 200 years of ghost lore from the Great Plains, New England, the South, and the Pacific Northwest.Young or old, playful or terrifying, clad in the brocades of the 16th century or the jeans of today, the phantoms of these tales vary as much as the places they haunt.

Whatever their demeanor, wherever they are, however their actions are explained or dismissed, these ghosts have a common power: anyone reading this anthology will see that they still haunt us today.…
