    About this ebook

    C.C. Carole has visited some of the most historic places in the Merrimack Valley and has found them buzzing with the ghostly energy and presence of those who came before. Join C.C. as she recounts her adventures and paints a historical backdrop of the region s haunts. Discover the legend of the Pennacook chief Passaconaway, said to be over one hundred years old and possessed of magic that could make water burn and trees dance. Investigate the eerie sounds and shadowy figures reported in the old safe houses and tunnels of the Underground Railroad. Visit the Rosewood Country Inn in Bradford and its lingering spirits of glamorous Hollywood stars, and listen for the echoes of toe-tapping performers at Canobie Lake Park s Dancehall Theatre. As C.C. treks across New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the region s historic spirits reveal themselves in surprising ways.

      interesting history about local hauntings and legends. However, felt that the history overpowered the "ghost stories" and that the healings were a bit to neatly wrapped up.
    • 4/5
      I read this book as part of my research on New England and the Merrimack Valley in particular. It has a nice collection of different locations to visit in the valley, some of which I have visited. There were some interesting facts that I did not know and over all I would like to visit all of the locations mentioned in the book. I felt that it fell a little short on describing these locations. Although I believe that there is more to life than meets the eye, I did not find the ghost part of the book very interesting, sorry! If the author stuck to the basic tourist aspect to the book and enlarged each section, I think I would have liked the book much better.
