Best Ghost Tales of South Carolina di Terrance Zepke
I have several books like this. They give several short ghost stories about things out there and tell you if they are available to the public.
Another great one from Terrance Zepke, and another one found in a tourist gift shop, this time in South Carolina.
As the title suggests, this is a beginner's guide to Gullah magic and culture. A fascinating collection of tales that give the reader a look into the Gullah culture in South Carolina.
I'll be honest, I read this one during Hurricane Dorian, which is now three months and at least 5 books ago, so my memory isn't the sharpest on this one. I'm just now getting back to it so I can review it, but have forgotten all the things I wanted to say about it after first reading it. I'll definitely need to read it again to give a better review, but I did enjoy it and will be adding it to my paranormal research shelf for further use.… (altro)

Ghost hunting light....If you are looking for a quick basic overview of haunted inns and hotels, this is a fine book. I was hoping for more detail, more depth, more personal accounts. Not bad, but just waaaayyyy to light for my tastes.
Since I bought this book at the Historical Center in New Bern, I think I was expecting more North Carolina ghosts and legends. In fact, a good number of the stories from this book seem to take place in and around Georgetown, SC.
Not to say that there isn't some valuable storytelling here. Zepke opens with the Ship of Fire, which is directly connected to New Bern, then goes into Danny Bradshaw's experiences on the USS North Carolina in Wilmington. There were some stories I had not heard, which was nice. Also, I like how she gives exact locations for some of the stories with possible sightings for anyone interested in potentially seeing the Shoo-Fly ghost train or others.
Surprised the Maco Light didn't make the list, but the inclusion of the Pactolus Light (a new one on me) made up for it.
Definitely a few of these stories that make me want to research them more in-depth.… (altro)
