BEWARE THE SALTY SEA DOGS AND WRETCHED WRECKS
ALONG THE SPIRIT-FILLED COAST OF CAPE COD

Clipper ships, packet ships, whale boats, and steamers left home ports on Cape Cod to navigate the icy seas. Death demanded a toll from those aboard who dared to risk the waves--and those they left behind forever awaiting their return. Extracted from The Haunting of Cape Cod and the Islands, published by Pelican Publishing, plus four new chapters, each tale brims with a froth of fascinating facts related to the ghostly mariners and their exploits . . . or their watery graves. Addresses for these fraught sites can be found at the end of the book; contacting the ghosts is up to you.

In this ghostly guide, Barbara Sillery delves into the legends and myths, tracking the homes where spirits still roam. She interviews witnesses and reveals vivid firsthand accounts of paranormal activity. A short history of each site and its ghostly inhabitants adds to the mysterious allure of these locales. Fourteen bone-chilling chapters profile the cavorting spirits and their often-frightening antics. Greenville's lost ghost remains on guard duty at the former armory. Rowan Oak, Mount Holly, the Lyric Theatre, the Old Capitol Museum, Rosedale and Waverley all have tales to tell and lively spirits who will not lie still.
