Trade Paperback. Condición: Fine. Fourth Printing. 214 pages indexed. 200 years of Ghost Lore from the Great Plains, New Nengland, the South and the Pacific Northwest. Young or old, playful or terrifying, clad in the brocades of the 16th century of the jeans of today, the phantoms of these tales vary as much as the places they h…aunt. Some are ghosts in the strictest sense, troubles over deeds left undone or unavanged at the time of their deaths; others, like the Georgia Werewolf and the wolf-girl of west Texas, are more unusual. They may be as passionate as Vivie - who disguised herself as a man to follow her lover to Oklahoma, and killed him when she witnessed his infidelity - or as genteel as the Lady in White, who showed up at a Delaware farmhouse during a blizzard and did nothing more violent than croon the baby to sleep. 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. The Editor Downer brings together stories from newspapers, journals and magazines, none of which were written as fictitious. An index references location of stories by city and state.
