Tragedy at Devils Hollow: And Other Kentucky Ghost Stories

by Michael Paul Henson

This is the first book of Kentucky ghost stories by acclaimed author Michael Paul Henson. He tells the bewildering tale of the tragedy at Devil’s Hollow in Kentucky. Henson has added a selection of other ghost stories and unexplained phenomena. The narratives contained in this volume are relatively unknown for two principal reasons—first, no one has previously taken the time to collect and compile them; second, these are stories generally limited to certain localities and have seldom been told outside the area of occurrence. While many stories may have been transmuted through the years of telling, the essence remains the same and the fascination and intrigue provoked by these tales of wonderment has not been diminished.

Cleaning out things in my house and I ran across this book that I read many years ago. I had the privilege of meeting the author and have a signed copy of the original 1984 copy. This man was so fascinating to talk to could have listened to him all day. This book is awesome and I'm thinking I'm going to have to read it again.

One of the foundational ghost books I read as a kid. Still holds up and has some pretty good stories. I remember the bird family one incredibly well. Also I'm a sucker for a holographic cover
