The Ghostly Tales of New England

Ghost Stories from America's first colonies have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery!

New England's haunted Yankee history comes to life--even when the main players are dead. Meet the Mad Doctor who lurks in the White Mountains, learn what really happened at Spooner Well, and tread among the spirits in Mystic Seaport. Dive into this spooky chapter book for suspenseful tales of bumps in the night, paranormal investigations, and the unexplained; just be sure to keep the light on.


MY REVIEW:  If you like tales of the supernatural, and you have a love of early American history, then you will enjoy "The Ghostly Tales of New England". Author Carie Juettner offers a collection of spine-tingling stories from Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Each state is featured with a number of its own short--but memorable--hauntings from history. Here's a scary sampler: "The Tragic Tale of Old Coot"; "Chills at the Ice House"; "The Princess"; "The White Witch"; "The Mysteries of Mystic Seaport"; and "The Black Duck". Americana, apparitions, murder, mayhem, unexplained phenomena, restless spirits, and more--you'll find it all--and it may just find you--in the pages of "The Ghostly Tales of New England".
