Summary

"Parks and Ghosts" explores the eerie side of America's national parks, delving into ghost stories intertwined with historical events and folklore. These aren't just spooky tales; they reflect significant historical occurrences and cultural beliefs resonating within these landscapes. For instance, Gettysburg National Military Park, known for its Civil War history, also harbors accounts of unexplained phenomena, suggesting echoes of past tragedies. 

 
The book uniquely merges travel and history with paranormal investigation, treating ghost stories as cultural artifacts that reveal deeper insights into human history and our connection to the land. It progresses from introducing the concept of haunted landscapes to exploring specific parks like Yellowstone and the Great Smoky Mountains. Each chapter examines the historical background, documented paranormal accounts, and potential explanations, culminating in ethical considerations surrounding ghost tourism and the importance of preserving these narratives as part of our cultural heritage.

    Following the birth of their daughter, Jack McClure and his wife Alana had every intention of continuing their life of adventure. After an extensive hiking trip in the desert southwest, they found that having a baby with them was no excuse to stay home and dream of adventures that could’ve been. With lofty ambitions, they set their sights on thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico as a family, beginning when their daughter was 9 months old. What followed was a 1,500 mile odyssey filled not only with primeval forests and sweeping mountain vistas but also countless lullabies, hundreds of diaper changes and innumerable tears shed. 
    Sparking warmth and inspiration, You Carry the Tent, I’ll Carry the Baby paints a vivid picture of the joys and numerous stressors of one family’s experience raising an infant on their terms, all while hiking twenty miles a day for months on end, in a journey that challenges them every step of the way.

    It may be that the true home of Apollo was not at Delphi, but in that older earth-center of which Plato speaks, where he says: "Apollo's real home is among the Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where mythology tells us two doves flying from the two opposite ends of the world met in this fair region, the home of Apollo. Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic Ocean far beyond the North Wind."

    Will the Arctic wonderland work its magic this winter?

Having long since given up on love, he now dedicates himself to his passion for photography. But when he meets Joy, is it more than the aurora borealis that catches his eye?
