Spooky Maryland Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore

Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for thirty creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other strange occurrences from times past. Set way back near the cold, calm waters of Crisfield, in the quiet rural farmlands of Venton, and in the dark, heavily wooded swamplands of Cambridge, the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again. Maryland folklore traditions are kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser and through artist Paul Hoffman's evocative illustrations. You'll meet ghosts and witches, hear things that go bump in the night, and feel an icy wind on the back of your neck on a warm summer evening. Whether read around the campfire on a dark and dreary night or from the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.Hoffman, Paul G. is the author of 'Spooky Maryland Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore', published 2007 under ISBN 9780762741380 and ISBN 0762741384.
