By Jannette Quackenbush
Marietta, Ohio-one of the oldest towns along the Ohio River-is also one of its most haunted.
In this compact, colorful book, folklorist Jannette Quackenbush brings together ghost stories, legends, and eerie folklore passed down through generations of Marietta residents.
Discover tiny ghostly lights flickering at a local cemetery, a woman who refused to accept death and still drifts along the hilltop, and spirits of flood victims who seem forever tied to the river that took their lives. These are authentic tales grounded in local history-stories that reveal Marietta's haunted past and the deep connection between memory and place.
A walking map of the ghost stories is included so readers can explore these haunted locations for themselves and walk the same streets where the legends began.
As founder of the 21 Crows American Folklore Archives, Quackenbush has spent decades researching and preserving the folklore of Appalachia and the Midwest. She is also the creator of Dark Journeys with Jannette, a project that brings folklore and field investigation together through public night hikes, lectures, and media storytelling. In addition to her writing and archival research, Quackenbush has led public hikes and field explorations focused on ghost and cryptid legends-most notably her Moonville Night Hikes, West Virginia's Silver Run Tunnel Treks, and Hiking Expeditions (Where the Natural World and the Supernatural World Collide(c))-which guide visitors through real haunted and creature-sighting locations.
Perfect for readers who love Ohio ghost stories, Appalachian hauntings, and historic river town legends, Marietta Ghosts is a pocket-sized journey into the eerie side of Ohio history.
