Download The Ghosts of Cape Cod Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Historic Cape Cod has 15 towns, stretching from Bourne to Provincetown. Each town and village has ghosts and many stories to tell about them. In this book, the author has chosen some of the lesser known, but fascinating apparitions, such The Ghost of the 13 Churches - Dr. Abner Hersey: Ahsoo, the Native American girl who sings with a voice of gold but has a face like a fallen log: and the 300 year old parson who sneaks into people's yards to snatch posies from their flower boats. These and many other legends are included by the author, who visited many of the sites himself and not only wrote the stories, but also took a number of the more than two dozens photos that are included in the E-book version. The photos are not included in the print edition. In one of the most fascinating parts of the book, the author describes in narrative and with pictures, the eerie, secluded burial ground of the tribe of Princess Scargo. Because this graveyard is virtually unknown, and hard to find, the author has given specific directions to the compelling site, that overlooks Scargo Lake. Stories from all four parts of Cape Cod are included in this 'must read' collection.

Download Legends & Lore of Cape Cod Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Cape Cod has a rich tradition of local lore, stretching back to a time before the Pilgrims arrived. Ancient Wampanoag legends like Granny Squannit and Princess Scargo are as familiar as tales of pirates and explorers, including "Black Sam" Bellamy and Donald Baxter Macmillan. Felines often blocked "Cat's Alley" in pursuit of food from fishermen's boats. The remnants of Billingsgate Island can be seen at low tide, and visits from Jenny Lind and Helen Keller contrast with the mysterious stories of the "Lady of the Dunes" and New England's Dark Day. Author Robin Smith-Johnson shares historic tales of shipwrecks, murders, hauntings and more from the Cape.

Download Moonlight Harvest Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The ghosts, phantoms, and ¿long-leggéd beasties¿ who haunt the cranberry bogs of Cape Cod and Plymouth County are best seen by moonlight¿though there are some folks who say that such things are best never seen at all. Even so, there can¿t be any harm in peeking, can there? Can there? Ask the boy named Christopher, who in broad daylight peeked inside the old Thompson screenhouse¿or the girl named Myra from Duxbury, who, alone at night, peeked into the shallow ditch that runs along the edge of the bog behind her house¿nothing bad happened to either of them, did it? Nothing too bad¿ Moonlight Harvest gathers together seventeen of Edward Lodi¿s best ghost stories¿including ¿Joe Baker Stops By,¿ first-prize winner in the ¿Strange Occurrences¿ contest sponsored by Prime Time Cape Cod. All seventeen are set on the cranberry bogs of southeastern Massachusetts; all are fraught with mystery, suspense, and nameless terror. Two of the stories have never before been published; a third appeared recently in the journal All Hallows but has never been collected in book form. A number of the stories appeared in Haunters of the Dusk and Murder on the Bogs, rare out-of-print collections that are highly sought after. Some of the tales in Moonlight Harvest are true or firmly based on legends. Others, though fictional, were inspired by actual cranberry bogs and events that happened there. All will make you think twice before setting out at dusk on that nature walk; or strolling across that dike near the reservoir; or skating on that quaint bog flooded for the winter. You never know: you might encounter Joe Baker¿or the creature named Flume Child¿or something far, far worse.

Download Cedar and Oak to Burn a Witch Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A terrifying tale of love, betrayal, and perverted justice. Alternating between the present and the past, the story is told of a witch burning that never made it into the history books. Not in Salem, Massachusetts, but in the unlikely little Cape Cod fishing village of Wellfleet. When Emily Jones, college professor of New England Colonial History settled into the old family farmhouse at Bound Brook Island Farm to enjoy her year-long sabbatical during which she planned to research her own Welsh roots and write a non-fiction book about one early family's place in the New England scene, in particular on isolated Cape Cod before it became a tourist Mecca, she could never have imagined the story awaiting her. (Wanting to be told by the victim.) Going back to the seventeenth century when the first family settlers arrived and took up farming, the story seemed simple. That is until she discoveed, just by chance, a sad and lonely headstone in the old town cemetery. The stone became, for her, a lodestone leading to a lost story so unbelievable and horrifying that it could only be a fiction invented by some early creative writer whose intention it had been to shock, perhaps settle an old family vendetta . Or so Emily thinks until her sister April arrives for the summer and begins to receive "messages" about a witch burning and much, much more. The summer is full of surprises, romance, and, above all, hidden and difficult to uncover mysteries perpetrated centuries ago when a handful of prominent citizens swore an oath to take their terrible secret to their graves. Mystery, history, ghosts, secrets and unforgettable characters will make this a story you will not soon forget.
