Ghostwriters

Nancy Roberts and Taryn Plumb spin fascinating tales about 26 haunted

houses all over America. Based on stories told by first-hand witnesses,

these stories of ghostly goings-on will keep you on the edge of your

seat—and possibly up all night! Read about San Diego’s Whaley House,

whose former residents maintain an active presence, as does Yankee Jim, a

hanging victim over whose gallows the house was built. Learn about the

house in Massachusetts that once belonged to eccentric millionaire and

brilliant inventor John Hammond, Jr.—whose practice in spiritualism, say

some, continues long after his death. And relive the terrifying battle

that claimed the lives of 1,700 Confederate soldiers whose battlefield

became their final resting place on Tennessee’s Carnton Plantation.
