Publisher's Synopsis
An exploration of the chilling haunted history of New England where ghostly tales are connected to pivotal events and figures from America's past.
The New England area, with its rich colonial history, offers chilling tales of haunted battlefields, unsolved murders, and restless spirits. As the lead investigator for Boston Paranormal, author Barry Corbett has spent the last six years chasing phantoms, hoping to understand why discarnate souls remain rooted to this Earth. Combining myth and folklore with historical research, he has presented the tragic stories behind each of these hauntings. It may surprise you to learn that many are tied to seminal events in American history.
Is there a giant Native American haunting Wessagusset Park and what does it have to do with Myles Standish and Plymouth Colony? How is Ben Franklin related to Chief Metacomet and the angry ghosts at Peter Oliver House? The historic events that began with the Puritans at Plymouth and led to the American Revolution have produced these twenty chilling tales now brought to light.
Roger Williams, Ben Franklin, Chief Massasoit, Squanto, Plymouth Colony, and the Sons of Liberty are all part of American history. Now discover their direct relationships to the hauntings in New England. It's all here, and amazingly, it's all true.
