In praise of Barbara Sillery's Haunting of Louisiana . "A personal, anecdotal narrative that paints events with evocative descriptions . The Haunting of Louisiana is best savored in slicesit serves up a great bedtime read." New Orleans Times-Picayune "Prepare to be engaged and entertained to a degree to which you are certainly unaccustomed." Phillip J. Jones, former secretary, Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism The fog-shrouded islands of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard are filled with distinctly New England apparitions steeped in the staunch seafaring traditions of their earthly home. Dip into this ghostly guide for a tour of more than twenty historical sites along with stories of their supernatural inhabitants. In each instance, skepticism abounds and the question remainsis there really a ghost? From the Highfield Theater to the Sandwich Glass Museum, from the Crocker Tavern House to the Simmons Homestead Inn in Hyannis Port, from the Edward Gorey House to the Penniman House, the author provides an entertaining tour of the best-known haunts of the area.

"From a discarded armoire to a distorted folktale, if it's old I'm hooked. Transporting the past into the present, delving into the lives of those who came before, is a pleasure I hope to repeat many times in the future." Barbara Sillery An award-winning producer and writer, Sillery admits a penchant for the paranormal. Her passion for antiques introduced her to the world of the supernatural, and her interest in the story behind each piece led to her previous books with Pelican, The Haunting of Louisiana and The Haunting of Mississippi.
