"Things just got a little scary in central Kentucky...are you ready for some ghosts? White Hall State Historic Site, Westover Terrace, the Pigg House, Boone Tavern, Pearl Buchanan Theatre...what do these have in common? You'll find some of the creepiest ghost stories and urban legends in them! Have you stopped on Four Mile Road to pick up Little Egpyt? Sneaked into Westover Terrace as a teenager to explore the cellar and "round" rooms? Spent the night in the Glyndon Hotel? Taken a haunted tour of the historic hotel in Berea? Driven out to Salem Cemetery at midnight in an attempt to see the "demon eyes"? If so, you're not alone! The author herself grew up in the county with these stories and has been collecting them for years. From Little Egypt, the ghostly hitchhiker who invites herself into the vehicles of courageous adventurers, to the mysterious "secret" hallway in one of EKU's oldest dorms and the Boone Tavern Hotel visitors who have never quite checked out–There's a lot of spooky stuff going on in Madison County, Kentucky! Haunted Madison County explores some of the creepiest ghost stories, exciting urban legends, and strange tales the county has to offer. From Berea to Waco, the collection (gathered from research and personal interviews with county residents) is a spooky delight for those who grew up hearing the tales and seeking their own adventures with the county's undead and most mysterious residents. Are YOU afraid of a little ghost? Be sure to check out Rebecca Patrick Howard's other collections of true area ghost stories, too! Neighboring Estill County has its own fair share of spooky tales that will have you sleeping with the lights on!" -- Provided by publisher.
