"A comprehensive guide to the best haunts in the south.
Jamie's personal accounts take the history and hauntings of Historic Haunts of The South to a new level.
Engaging, informative and tough to put down.
Don't read this book in the bathroom. The 109 pages will draw you in and people will worry. : ) "

Historic Haunts of the South Book Review by Debe Branning

2/4/2014

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!

Historic Haunts of the South Book Review by David Domine

2/4/2014

“In Historic Haunts of the South, Jamie Roush Pearce introduces the reader to some of Dixie’s spookiest locations. Some of them, like the Waverly Hills Sanatorium and Myrtles Plantation, are world-renowned hot spots of supernatural activity; well-researched stories from lesser known sites such as the old county jail in Green Cove Springs, Florida and the Black Pelican Restaurant in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina will make you want to hop in your car and check them out for yourself. As with her previous writings, Jamie shares a wealth of personal ghost hunting experience as she roams the region in search of fascinating legends and interesting and true ghost stories. If you want to learn more about the South and its intriguing paranormal past, Historic Haunts of the South will be an enjoyable and informative read.”
