nWeve got spirits, yes we do! Haunted USA is a terrifying treasure trove of supernatural scares from each of the 50 states, from the vengeful witch of New Hampshire, Goody Cole, to Missouris unlikely icon, Momo the swamp monster. n nIn this illustrated compendium drawing on fact, folklore, mythology and urban legend, youll shine a light on ghosts, ghouls, cryptids, and even a haunted carousel. Some tales will give you chills--like that of Rue, the unfortunate daughter of an Oregon lighthouse-keeper who even today wanders the forlorn towers guest rooms--while others--like the friendly ghost of Dr. Justina Ford who guides visitors around her old Colorado home--prove that some phantoms still hold on to that friendly American spirit. n nSome are downright strange. Have you ever heard of the chocolate-loving ghost of Iowa, or Delawares specter who cant stand sneezing? Still others are older than the USA itself, from Hawaiis Night Marchers to the ancient Sleeping Buffalo Rock of Montana (which may not be quite so asleep after all). n nWhen youve read all you can handle, turn to the back of the book for a glossary of ghoulish terms and even expert advice on going ghost-hunting yourself! n nWhether youre after a campfire fright, a slice of local lore, or a traditional tale to sink your teeth into, Haunted USA is a rich anthology of supernatural America. With stories that are carefully chosen and sensitively told for 9-12-year-olds, its perfect for those cozy evenings around Halloween, or for adding a sprinkle of spookiness to a summer road trip.n
