Salem's Spirits and Other Hauntings of New England

About this ebook
Each region of the U.S. has its fair share of hauntings, but maybe none more so than New England. There, the ghosts of accused witches linger in Salem. Haunted hotels are scattered throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Tormented spirits reign over what was once Danvers State Hospital. New England is as rich in ghosts as it is in history. Between these pages, readers will find just the right amount of scariness for a cold, dark night.
