Folklore and ghost stories are important. They connect us to our past, and keep memories alive in one form or another. Unfortunately, many stories and tales appeared in books and periodicals that are hard to find, out of print, or have vanished completely. Inside you'll read about the ghosts, urban legends, superstitions about witches, mysterious creatures, strange unidentified flying objects, and other tall tales from Avery, Madison, Watauga, and Yancey Counties, North Carolina. Some books are good at "spinning a yarn", especially out of Southern Appalachian urban legends. Other books have presented the folklore as presented. Word of mouth can completely change a story, as well. Whenever possible, this book dives deep into a story to uncover the persons and true stories behind the legends.

“A fantastic job of storytelling to the point that it literally sends shivers down the reader’s spine . . . entertaining and informative” (YES! Weekly). Don’t be fooled by the scenic beauty of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad—the ghosts of the past haunt these rolling hills and unique cities. From the smallpox-stricken ghost that haunts Salem Tavern in Winston-Salem to the slain Revolutionary War soldiers who linger in the park surrounding Guilford Courthouse in Greensboro, these phantoms all have a tale to tell. Some ghosts even support education. Take Jane, the lonely spinster who haunts Aycock Auditorium at the UNC-Greensboro campus, or Herschel, High Point University’s ghost of the former Memorial Theater. And though Spookywoods Haunted Attraction in Kersey Valley often frightens and astounds, some of the resident ghosts aren’t just special effects. Join Camel City Spirit Seekers Michael Renegar and Amy Spease as they reveal the eerie and chilling stories from the heart of the Piedmont. Includes photos! “If you want some spooky ghost stories to get you in the mood for Halloween, Triad ghost-hunters/authors Michael Renegar and Amy Spease may have just what you’re looking for.” —The News & Record
