Haunted houses and family ghosts of Kentucky

By William Lynwood Montell

Subjects: Haunted houses, Apparitions, Ghosts

Description: "Chains rattling in a cellar. Dishes floating in midair. The ghostly apparition of a long-dead girl vanishing into the night. From the comforting appearance of a deceased parent in a time of sadness to the horrifying specter of a spirit from beyond the grave, veteran folklorist and storyteller Lynwood Montell has harvested dozens of tales of haunted houses and family ghosts from across the Bluegrass state.". "The first book to focus on haunted houses of the Commonwealth, the collection of stories details chilling events in magnificent mansions and lowly log cabins alike. For example, in "The Ghost That Left No Tracks in the Snow," two Laurel County women receive an unwelcome visit from a spirit during a blizzard, and Mason County brothers return the stare of a floating head in "Ghostly Footsteps.""--BOOK JACKET.
