Virginia's Haunted Historic Triangle by Pamela K. Kinney
About The Book:
Take a step back into ghostly history as you tour Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown in the Historic Triangle. Visit Jamestown Island where Captain John Smith and the first English colonists settled. Stroll around Yorktown and follow the same footsteps of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington as they walked along Duke of Gloucester Street. Hear odd noises and see apparitions at the Peyton Randolph House, Cornwallis's Cave, Wells's Corner, Sherwood Forest, the Rosewell Plantation, and many, many other places. Be prepared to get to know the ghosts of this Historic Triangle and its surrounding areas. They're dying for you to read their stories.
My Thoughts:
I wasn't expecting to get spooked by this book, but, well, I sort of did. I loved learning the history of Virginia, since some of my ancestors hail from there. And I love ghost stories, so this book was right up my alley. The photographs that go along with the chapters in this book are amazing and really help you to envision what you are reading. The book is gorgeously put together, and well laid out. Anyone interested in history and ghosts will thoroughly enjoy this book.
