Spooky North Carolina
Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings and Other Local Lore
Retold by S. E. Schlosser
Meet Mary, a jealous woman who steals the diamond ring off the hand of her dead sister, with disasterous results. She is just one of many spooky characters who haunt this collection. 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!

I just read Boo Hag -a great story. I have heard several versions but yours captures and conjures up a lot of spookiness! I'm a storyteller - how do you fell about other folks telling your stories?
