Summary: Gave me shivers!
Review: A super collection of scary ghost stories from down South. There are famous haunts like the Bell Witch from Tennessee, Blackbeard's ghost who roams Ocracoke Inlet in North Carolina, and the Army of the Dead in Charleston. There are also some not-so-famous but equally scary tales like the Wampus Cat, Hold Him Tabb, and the Devil's Mansion. These are great stories to tell around the campfire! Another thing I liked about the book was the way the author threaded humorous moments into many of the stories. I laughed aloud when I read I'm Coming Down and Wait Until Emmet Comes. The book has lovely illustrations that go with each story, and a map showing the towns and locations from which the tales originated. Can't wait to see more books from this author.

In Fla. a Big John de Conqueror goes wife hunting with interesting results. Alabama has a Hairy Man to keep the residents of the state company. In Virginia there are strange looking fish to catch.
