The Ghosts of Tidewater-- And Nearby Environs by L. B. TaylorDare you not believe? A mystery ship vanishes in the mist. An ashen-faced young lady rises from her gravesite. The spectral lights of a ghost train. A dead admirer who returns to sing on his loved one's tapes. Phantom pit bull dogs romping in a garden. A psychic's vision which unlocks a 100-year-old msytery. Ember-red eyes shining eerily in the dark. These and other examples of inexplicable psychic phenomena are chronciled in "The Ghosts of Tidewater". Are the stories true? Skeptics may scoff, but a number of respected witnesses who have personally seen or otherwise experienced the "presence" of these spirits swear by them. Judge for yourself! -- Back cover.
