This is a must read for paranormal enthusiasts, those interested in folklore, and historians.
From Jackie Tomlin, “This is my favorite book by Pam.” “ A lot of hard work went into this book and it shows.” “She does a great job in including the locations websites, providing the history and/or folklore of the location as well as listing the local tourists attractions in the area.” “You can also appreciate her honesty in reporting any experience she may have had, or reporting if she had no experience at all.”
Other titles by Pamela K. Kinney include, Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths and True Tales and Haunted Richmond, Virginia.
