Lowcountry Ghost Stories

Official Blurb
Lowcountry Ghosts haunt the maze of marshes and ancient rice fields along South Carolina's Coast . . .
  • Does lovely Alice Flagg still live in The Hermitage at Murrells Inlet more than 100 years after her death?
  • When ghost ships appear far out in the marsh, do they represent lost fishermen? pirates? Confederate blockade runners? 
  • Are threatening spirits haunting Miss Genevieve's beads taken from a long-forgotten grave?


Find history, mystery, and romance in these three gentle ghost stories (10,000 words, nine illustrations--about 40 pages if it were a paperback) from Lynn Michelsohn's longer work, Tales from Brookgreen: Folklore, Ghost Stories, and Gullah Folktales in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
My Review
Interesting little collection of 3 ghost stories and the history behind them set in South Carolina, I particularly enjoyed the history of the Confederate blockade runners. Short introductions to the authors' other works are also included.  If you like this sort of forklore storytelling check out Haunted Lowcountry Website for other ghostly tales.
