Haunted Island: True Ghost Stories from Martha's Vineyard, Holly Mascott Nadler, 1994, line art, ref., 144 pp. $10.95

When Nadler was researching her popular "Ghosts of Edgartown" tour, she found plenty of ghosts on this small island including Desire Coffin, who was called back from Death by the power of music; "Old Joe," the typing ghost of the Edgartown jail; Hadley House--haunted by a berserk lumberjack with an ax, a young man in Mardi-Gras costume, and an elderly, opera-singing lady.

One chapter covers the ghostly entities of Chappaquiddick that may have had a hand in the Kennedy/Kopechne incident at the Bridge. Many understated, chilling stories and delightful line drawings of haunted sites make this a wonderful book!
