Historic Haunts of the South Book Review from Author Debe Branning

Historic Haunts of the South
Rating: 5 Stars
January 20, 2014

Is the cold northern winter getting you down? Are you ready to warm up with some of the ghosts that haunt the southern states? Grab a warm, cozy spot by the fireplace and transport yourself to the “Historic Haunts of the South” by Jamie Roush Pearce.
Jamie is both an author and a paranormal investigator who has visited the locations, interviewed witnesses, and has done paranormal investigations at the majority of the haunted sites. "Historic Haunts of the South" is a collection of some of the South's most haunted and historic sites.

Some of the tales you will discover are “The Streaking Mardi Gras Ghost at the Hotel Monteleone”, “The Brown Mountain Lights”, “The Ghost of the Dwarven Jester at the Castle”, “The Paranormal Postman Captured on Film,” and “Thomas Jefferson's Ghost at the Monticello".

Visit the Old County Clay Jail in historic Green Cove Springs, Florida where investigators still hear the cell doors opening and closing, voices, and footsteps of the past. Some report being touched by a ghostly presence.

Check into the Riverview Hotel in New Smyrna, Florida and learn about the ghost of “Christa”, one of the former owners of the historic hotel. Keep your eye out for Spooky the cat—still living another life here.

Stop and check out the ghosts of Jekyll Island, Georgia—especially the Jekyll Island Hotel which opened in 1888. Some of the past guests have enjoyed their stay at this mansion that they refuse to check out! Pearce believes this is one of the most active locations she has ever investigated.

And don’t forget everyone’s favorite plantation house, The Myrtles in St Francisville, Louisiana. Be on the lookout for Miss Chloe, the plantation slave that was caught spying on conversations of the owner. It is said she still roams the grounds keeping one ear on the happenings of the Myrtles acreage.

Jamie’s first book, “Historic Haunts Florida” covered some of the most haunted places in the sunshine state. “Historic Haunts of the South" continues the haunted journey through additional cities in the southern United States.

Order BOTH “Historic Haunts Florida” and “Historic Haunts of the South” today!

Help Historic Haunts Raise Money for Relay for Life

1/13/2014

Like you, I know too many people whose lives have been touched by cancer. That's why I've joined the American Cancer Society to help finish the fight by participating in my community Relay For Life event.

A Relay For Life event is much more than just walking around a track. At the event, we celebrate loved ones who have won their battle against cancer, remember those no longer with us, and fight back against this disease that robs so many of so much.

The good news? Because of the funds raised by Relay participants like me, more people in our community:

Have the information and tools they need to avoid getting cancer or find the disease early, when it's easiest to treat
Have a place to turn for help 24/7
Benefit from the progress being made toward finding cancer's causes and cures
Get access to lifesaving screenings and treatment

I would truly appreciate your online donation. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to a world with less cancer and more birthdays - a world where not another life is lost to the disease.

Thank you so much for your support. Together, we will finish the fight!
