Phantom Army of the Civil War: and Other Southern Ghost Stories

Phantom Army of the Civil War compiles thirty-five tales of first-hand encounters with specters and phantoms, ghost-ridden swamps, and the eerie mansions that populate the haunted South. The stories span of more than forty years; and the rich, emotional, often violent history of the American South certainly adds something unique to this collection. Many of the spirits fought and died during the Civil War, our bloodiest and most costly conflict. Others lived long before then, helping in America's fight for independence from the British. Not every story deals with wars or battles, there are tales of lost and betrayed love, and of ancestors trying to protect the living from beyond the grave. Authors of these real-life ghost stories range from the average person to the professional paranormal investigator. This unique and varied collection will offer something different for everyone, whether you believe in ghosts or not.
