Beskrivelse
Daniel Barefoot, former member of the North Carolina Assembly, historian, folklorist, and magician, is the prefect guide to the diverse supernatural history of the state. Seaside Spectres collects the ghost stories of the coastal region of North Carolina, many of them never published before this series but often told around beach campfires, in grandma's attic, and on nighttime drives on the deserted roads to the coast. There is a story for each county in the coast regional, thirty in all, among them tales of ghosts, witches, demons, spook lights, unidentified flying objects, unexplained phenomena, and more.
In "The Cursed Town," a curse is laid on the Beaufort County town of Bath by an eighteenth-century preacher--a curse from which the town has never recovered. "Terrors of the Swamp" details the unexplained happenings in the Great Dismal Swamp--mysterious lights, a ghostly haunting from the American Revolution, and an awful creature called the Dismal Swamp Freak. In "The Fraternity of Death," the New Hanover County tale, readers meet the nineteenth-century cult whose members mocked the Last Supper and died under mysterious circumstances soon afterward, inspiring a story by Robert Louis Stephenson.
This book is in the "Haunted North Carolina" three-volume series, which includes Haints of the Hills (western NC), Seaside Spectres (NC coast), and Piedmont Phantoms (central NC).
