Spooky North Carolina : tales of hauntings, strange happenings, and other local lore / retold by S. E. Schlosser ; illustrated by Paul G. Hoffman.

Schlosser, S. E., (author.). Hoffman, Paul G., (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for twenty-five creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other strange occurrences in North Carolina. The spirit of a railroad flagman shines his lantern along the tracks near Maco, where he lost his head in a train accident. The ghost of a girl haunts the grave robbers who stole her corpse to use in a college medical department. And in a swamp outside Smithfield, a grisly mass hanging is re-created on dark nights. All this and much more!" -- Provided by publisher.
