This was the third book I read in this series, and I was a diehard fan from this point on.
I am waiting for this book to arrive in the mail, but if I remember correctly it had the strongest, most believable ghost stories of all.
My favorite was the story of Savannah, GA.
There is a museum in Windham's hometown of Selma, AL called the Kathryn Tucker Windham museum.
And if you ever get the chance to hear her speak, don't pass it up! She can also play a mean comb. Yes, she can PLAY a comb....

As always a nice entertaining read by Windham. This is probably one of my least favorite collections and I think the stories are a little spookier than Mississippi or Alabama stories. Always a treat to read one of her books though.

This whole series was part of my childhood. I would really love have the whole set.
