  “Chronicling the haunted history . . . of Ohio . . .” a collection of “chillingly entertaining ghostly tales [from] a master storyteller.” (Mark Moran, Co-creator of the Weird U.S. book series) Reader, beware! Turn these pages and enter the world of the paranormal, where ghosts and ghouls alike creep just out of sight. Author James A. Willis shines a light in the dark corners of Ohio and scares those spirits out of hiding in this thrilling collection.

There’s even a carved tombstone of an infant at Cedar Hill cemetery, whose ghostly eyes keep watch over those who wander too close. Around the campfire or tucked away on a dark and stormy night, this big book of ghost stories is a hauntingly good read.   “Sure to satisfy anyone’s hankering for hauntings, havoc, and horror in the ‘boo-tiful’ Buckeye State.” —Linda S. Godfrey, Author of Haunted Wisconsin and Real Wolfmen

  Just A Broom looks at the humble sweeping device which has cleaned homes, hearths, temples, streets and bare earth for centuries. It has been used to celebrate unofficial and official weddings, to bless new homes or bring good luck but it has also been used  in allegations of witchcraft with even a man of the cloth hundreds of years ago being accused of sorcery and riding a broomstick. Although he confessed, he was sentenced to a life in prison. The broom has symbolised liberation, and a clean sweep, but has also been ridden by farmers in the Middle Ages under a full moon to encourage a successful harvest. This story examines the historical roots of  broom usage as well as superstitions and ongoing customs.
