Haunted U.s.a.

By Charles Wetzel

Book Overview

All across the U.S., there's a strange kind of American "spirit" surfacing: the ghosts, specters, and wraiths that make up the country's phantom population. They're the native citizens of Haunted U.S.A. , and they come in every size, shape, type, and personality. Meet these spine-tingling characters, from the creatures occupying Washington D.C.'s most hallowed halls (including a demon cat that prowls Congress) to apparitions that materialize in graveyards and once-bloody battlefields. Find out about the nation's most haunted houses; a mammoth cave that's the site of more than 150 encounters; and Hawaii's "Lava Lady," a goddess who bubbles up from the depths of the earth with the lava that created the islands. Fun sidebars provide extra information.
