Opis

Inns attract the transients among us, those filled with wonderlust. In Sheila Turnage's new book, Haunted Inns of the Southeast, she tells the stories not of the living transients who frequent inns for a good night's rest, but the stories of the dead who share their sleep. Haunted Inns of the Southeast tells the stories of the ghosts who inhabit the inns of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

The stories are grouped according to each state; each state has from five to eighteen stories. One inn with a particularly exciting or frightful tale is singled out for special coverage in each chapter. Featured inns include Grace Hall in Selma, Alabama; Don Cesar Resort in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida; Jekyll Island Club Hotel on Jekyll Island, Georgia; Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana; King's Tavern in Natchez, Mississippi; the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina; the Inn at Merridun in Union, South Carolina; Newbury House in Rugby, Tennessee; and the Boxwood Inn in Newport News, Virginia.

Each story includes the address, price range, and contact information for each inn, so the book doubles as a handy guidebook. Using Haunted Inns of the Southeast, readers can easily take their own ghost tour of the Southeast.
