Over a hundred ghostly tales-at least one from every county in West Virginia.
Do you remember the stories your granny used to tell?
The ones about headless riders, ghost dogs, and restless spirits that never quite found peace? Those old stories live on in West Virginia Ghost Stories: The Classics, a collection of the Mountain State's most haunting legends.
Inside, folklorist Jannette Quackenbush brings together chilling accounts passed down through generations:
- The Greenbrier Ghost - the spirit who returned to testify from the grave
- The Telltale Lilac Bush - where justice came through roots and branches
- Booger Hole and Strange Creek - towns haunted by their own dark pasts
- Saul Outruns a Witch's Doings - a battle of cunning and superstition
- Silver Run Tunnel - the phantom bride that still appears along the tracks
- Ikie's Tomb and Hedger Hollow - where restless souls never sleep
These stories, along with dozens more, are drawn from old newspapers, family lore, and oral traditions gathered across Appalachia. You'll find haunted houses, ghostly rail tunnels, and eerie cemeteries, complete with directions and GPS coordinates so you can visit the places where the legends began.
As founder of the 21 Crows American Folklore Archives, Jannette Quackenbush has spent more than four decades preserving the folklore and hauntings of Appalachia. She is also the creator of Dark Journeys with Jannette, a project that brings history and the supernatural together through field research and public night hikes-including her Moonville Night Hikes, the Search for Dead Man Hollow, Silver Run Tunnel Treks, and Haunted Hiking Expeditions (Where the Natural World and the Supernatural World Collide(c)).
Each page of West Virginia Ghost Stories: The Classics opens a door to the state's mysterious past, where the veil between the living and the dead is thin-and every story carries the echo of those who came before.
