Historic Cape Cod has 15 towns, stretching from Bourne to Provincetown. Each town and village has ghosts and many stories to tell about them. In this book, the author has chosen some of the lesser known, but fascinating apparitions, such The Ghost of the 13 Churches - Dr. Abner Hersey: Ahsoo, the Native American girl who sings with a voice of gold but has a face like a fallen log: and the 300 year old parson who sneaks into people's yards to snatch posies from their flower boats. These and many other legends are included by the author, who visited many of the sites himself and not only wrote the stories, but also took a number of the more than two dozens photos that are included in the E-book version. The photos are not included in the print edition. In one of the most fascinating parts of the book, the author describes in narrative and with pictures, the eerie, secluded burial ground of the tribe of Princess Scargo. Because this graveyard is virtually unknown, and hard to find, the author has given specific directions to the compelling site, that overlooks Scargo Lake. Stories from all four parts of Cape Cod are included in this 'must read' collection.

A terrifying tale of love, betrayal, and perverted justice. Alternating between the present and the past, the story is told of a witch burning that never made it into the history books. Not in Salem, Massachusetts, but in the unlikely little Cape Cod fishing village of Wellfleet. When Emily Jones, college professor of New England Colonial History settled into the old family farmhouse at Bound Brook Island Farm to enjoy her year-long sabbatical during which she planned to research her own Welsh roots and write a non-fiction book about one early family's place in the New England scene, in particular on isolated Cape Cod before it became a tourist Mecca, she could never have imagined the story awaiting her. (Wanting to be told by the victim.) Going back to the seventeenth century when the first family settlers arrived and took up farming, the story seemed simple. That is until she discoveed, just by chance, a sad and lonely headstone in the old town cemetery. The stone became, for her, a lodestone leading to a lost story so unbelievable and horrifying that it could only be a fiction invented by some early creative writer whose intention it had been to shock, perhaps settle an old family vendetta . Or so Emily thinks until her sister April arrives for the summer and begins to receive "messages" about a witch burning and much, much more. The summer is full of surprises, romance, and, above all, hidden and difficult to uncover mysteries perpetrated centuries ago when a handful of prominent citizens swore an oath to take their terrible secret to their graves. Mystery, history, ghosts, secrets and unforgettable characters will make this a story you will not soon forget.
