Ghosts & Haunted Houses of Maryland, Trish Gallagher, 1988, line art, 95 pp. $9.95

Twenty-five tales including a haunted dining room table, a child ghost who mischievously scribbled on the ceiling, and a nanny ghost. Dr. Samuel Mudd and Mary Surratt, accused of conspiring against Lincoln, also flit through these pages. Well-written and very entertaining stories--some new, some drawn from Maryland's history.

Item #222

Ghosts and Legends of Frederick County, Timothy L Cannon and Nancy F Whitmore, 1979, line art, 73 pp $7.95

An entertaining mix of "true" tales and folklore. The banshee White Woman of South Mountain. The ghost of A B Nebb in Frederick, who ordered "Stop the digging; leave my family alone!" when the owners started digging too close to the graves of his wife and child who died in an epidemic. The "Child Ghost of Amelung" at New Bremen. The re-enactment of the Battle of South Mountain, where spectators smelled the sumphurous smell of cannon. Black dogs, snallygasters, and dwayyos. Not much documentation, but lots of fun.

Item #223

Spirits of Frederick, Alyce T. Weinberg, 1992, photos and line art, 101 pp. $9.95

Ghostly nuns and snallygasters; a walled-up horse's skull; and mysterious fingerprints that can't be painted, stained, or stripped away. I love the drawings by Audrey and the handwritten notes which add so much charm to this book.

Item #218

Spirits Between the Bays: Vol. I Pulling Back the Curtain, Ed Okonowicz, 1994, line art, 64 pp. $8.95
