Summary

The author of Haunted North Georgia stalks the Civil War ghosts that populate the top of the Peach State.   Though Georgia was spared the hard hand of war for two years, combat arrived with a vengeance in September 1863 with the Battle of Chickamauga in north Georgia. It was the second largest battle of the Civil War and has become one of America’s most haunted battlefields, producing a long history of bizarre paranormal events that continue today. From Sherman’s notorious march to Confederate general James Longstreet’s continued inhabitance of his postwar home, Georgia is haunted by many of those who fought in America’s deadliest war. Join author Jim Miles as he details the ghosts that still roam Georgia’s Civil War battlefields, hospitals, and antebellum homes.   Includes photos!   “He’s a connoisseur of Georgia’s paranormal related activity, having both visited nearly every site discussed in his series of Civil War Ghost titles . . . Miles has covered a lot of ground so far from the bustling cities to the small towns seemingly in the middle of nowhere. This daunting task takes an inside look to the culture and stories that those born in Georgia grow up hearing about and connect with.” —The Red & Black

Written by one of Britain's most well-respected and influential witches, and superbly illustrated by Nooka Shepherd, with every passing month, you will discover how this great tide works through your magical life: how the great time cycles animate life, about the goddesses and gods, the world of spirit, and how to live here in this world now. Praise for A Witch's Year 'An excellent handbook of seasonal magic and celebration, the work of a very experienced and informed practitioner, with a rich abundance of original rituals, spells and handicrafts.'

Each month she shares practical things to do, ways of marking and connecting with the magic and the raw physicality of the season, as well as meditations and ritual work. Expect athames and knitting needles as magical tools here, and advice on natural dyes as well as esoteric theory.' Julian Vayne ~British independent scholar and author

    From goat men to witch ladies and spooky little girls, dive into the haunted history of Plano, Texas.   Plano's old homes and businesses are rife with haunted history. Explore eerie urban legends like the Goat Man, the Clown Threat, and Ranch 111, where devil worshipers performed their rituals. The Evaporating Apparition spooked the staff at the Art Centre Theatre, while the grumpy spirit of an old rancher stalks the Masonic Lodge. Some specters are harmless, such as the Giggling Ghost, a little girl in the Cox Building with a penchant for peanut butter and pranks. Other figures own a more sinister reputation. The Witch Lady of Plano was feared by city youth and monitored by the FBI. Mary Jacobs examines the ghostly fallout of Plano's darkest moments, from the smallpox epidemic to the gruesome Muncey family murders.
