New England's dark hills, fogbound coasts, and hidden villages have inspired generations of writers such as Hawthorne, Lovecraft, and King. But these authors' dark imaginings pale when compared to little-known but well-documented and true tales. In this delightfully spine-tingling tour of all six New England states, Citro chronicles the haunted history and folklore of a region steeped in hardship and horror, humor and pathos.

Aimed at adults, teenagers, and tourists, this is the most comprehensive collection of tales, legends, folklore, ghost stories and strange-but-true facts ever assembled about Vermont and the surrounding areas of New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Quebec--one that can be used to find these haunted sites. Black-and-white drawings and maps.

Who was Vermont's first Ghostbuster? Was a full-blown exorcism performed at a local college? What mystery did a Vermont Doctor discover on the Moon? Do unknown populations live hidden in the Green Mountains? What are Vermont's most shameful secrets? These and other questions are the "favorite haunts" of Joseph A. Citro, Vermont's Ghostmaster General. Get the answers you want-and maybe some you don't-in this latest addition to Mr. Citro's ongoing collection of Vermont oddities. Strange but True Strange but MAYBE True Strange but HOPEFULLY NOT True Grab hold and hang on as we enter that...
