The definitive guide to the ghost stories and folklore of the Yellowhammer State—from a Confederate captain’s spirit to mansions plagued by the paranormal.

Alabama’s haunted history is spotlighted in chapters that cover the ghostly escapades and happenings at Rawls Hotel, Heritage Bible College, the USS Alabama, Bayview Bridge, and Marion Military Institute, to name a few. Each entry provides a history of the establishment and offers the possible motivations behind the hauntings. Vivid descriptions of the setting, along with detailed eyewitness accounts, enable the reader to experience the hair-raising firsthand. Dip into this ghostly guide for a tour of more than forty haunted sites along with stories of their supernatural inhabitants. In each instance, skepticism abounds and the question remains—is there really a ghost?
