I have read all of the volumes of L.B. Taylor Jr.

The Ghosts of Williamsburg is my favourite.

The stories within this particular volume scream out true encounters.

I love how he always makes room for history as well.

Just finished "The Ghosts of Williamsburg, Volume 2" by L.B. Taylor, Jr. The best thing about these books is the history you learn from them. There are stories you learn about that you would never hear on a normal tour or from a guide. Really good stuff for someone interested in the rich history of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.

I really started getting into some of the local history of Colonial Williamsburg. Great book, full of neat stories about on of the most important cities in early America of it's time. Repeats some of the stories from book one, but in most cases with a greater detail.

Mostly anecdotes concerning local history and folklore surrounding Williamsburg, Virginia. Not a frightening read, really, but interesting nonetheless, especially for those in love with Virginia and its rich history (which I am, of course).
