By Jannette Quackenbush
Explore the haunted history of America-one state at a time.
From the foggy hollows of Appalachia to the deserts of the Southwest, The Big Book of American Ghost Stories uncovers the most chilling tales from all 50 states, collected and curated by folklorist and author Jannette Quackenbush, creator of Dark Journeys with Jannette.
Each story is rooted in authentic folklore, drawn from old newspapers, oral traditions, and regional archives that preserve the voices of the past. You'll encounter vanishing hitchhikers, crybaby bridges, ladies in white, haunted inns, battlefield phantoms, cursed mining towns, and restless spirits who refuse to fade into history.
From the ghost towns of the Old West to haunted bridges of the East, this book guides you through America's most legendary-and often forgotten-haunts. Some stories are famous, others nearly lost to time, but all reveal a nation shaped by mystery, tragedy, and wonder.
Highlights include:
- True ghost stories from every U.S. state
- Urban legends, folklore, and first-hand accounts
- Haunted places travelers can still visit
- Bonus cryptid encounters unique to each region
With over four decades of field research, Jannette Quackenbush-one of the nation's leading folklore historians-blends historical accuracy with atmospheric storytelling, giving readers a haunting journey through the real legends that define America's ghostly heritage.
Perfect for fans of folklore, travel, paranormal history, and those who believe the past never truly dies.
