Haunted Portsmouth: Spirits and Shadows of the Past

Haunted America

by Roxie J. Zwicker

New Hampshire’s historic port town is no stranger to ghostly goings-on—from the local TV personality and author of Massachusetts Book of the Dead.   A tour of Portsmouth’s back alleys and docksides, filled with the lingering whispers and memories of generations long dead. Venture through the haunted past and present of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, if you dare. Before Portsmouth was a charming seaside community, it was a rough-and-tumble seaport. Hear phantom footsteps in the Point of Pines Burial Ground and mysterious voices at the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, haunted by the ghost of its former keeper. Tour guide and hauntings expert Roxie Zwicker takes readers on a tour of the nation’s third-oldest city, where buildings and street corners teem with ghostly stories and legends.   Includes photos!
