Spooky Virginia
Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings and Other Local Lore retold by S.E. Schlosser
As if he sensed my thoughts, Goggle-Eyed Jim turned his face toward the window. His eyes, behind the goggles, seemed to glow with a greenish-blue light. His face was so gray and withered, he seemed like a corpse...
Meet Google-Eyed Jim, the bane of every Virginia sheriff since this notorious horse thief is really a ghost! Jim is just one of many spooky characters who roam the pages of Spooky Virginia. You will also meet Rupp, a vampire stalking the miners around Big Stone Gap; a preacher who takes on the Jack Ma Lantern singlehanded - and loses; an Honest Wine Merchant who finds something unpleasant in his burgundy; and many others. Great for reading around the campire, for Halloween, or anytime!
