Haunts of Virginia's Blue Ridge Highlands
Haunts of Virginia's Blue Ridge Highlands | Joe Tennis
1 post
This interesting collection of Southwest Virginia ghost stories is packed with pictures and Appalachian lore (Roanoke Star-Sentinel). A Confederate soldier forever lost at Cumberland Gap. The wispy woman of Roanoke College. The spectral horse that runs the streets of Abingdon. These are just a few of the restless spirits of southwestern Virginia. Join local author Joe Tennis as he takes readers on both sides of the Blue Ridge to explore the ghostly tales of Appalachia and the Crooked Road. Peer over the rim of the New Castle Murder Hole, dive into the mysteries of Mountain Lake, and wander among the lost graves of Wise County to discover the haunted lore of Virginias Blue Ridge Highlands. This book bridges the Blue Ridge Parkway and follows the entire length of the Crooked Road: Virginias Heritage Music Trail. It explores a couple dozen counties, with tales of towns called Fincastle and Saltville tucked away in Virginias scenic southwestern corner. Each chapter is based on a blend of folk legends, longtime traditions, historical research, and firsthand accountsand the book also includes a bibliography, a map, and forty-five photographs.

Definitely an appropriate Halloween read, with spooky stories based in places I'm somewhat familiar with! And with just 34 ratings and six reviews on Goodreads, I'd say it definitely qualifies as a #lesserknownbook for #Booked2021!
