Extraordinary events have shaped American history, such as the momentous Battle of First Bull Run. It was one of the largest land battles of the Civil War, so it is not surprising that this is among the most haunted battlefields in our nation. Psychics have reported nine different entities present at Manassas Battlefield. Ignorant at this point as to how long and how bloody this war would become, tourists traveled by carriage (from as far away as Washington, D.C.) to Manassas to watch the battle. They brought picnics and cheered from the sidelines, as if watching a ball game! Over the years, there have been thousands of reports of paranormal activity at our battlefields. A Phantom Rider, believed to be General Anthony Wayne, has been seen galloping up Route 322 before disappearing into the woods at Brandywine Battlefield. You'll also read about other key battles and hauntings, such as... *Shiloh's Drummer Boy Ghost *Old Green Eyes of Chickamauga *a mysterious fog at Richmond *a strange blue light that appears at Antietam *the spirits of Indian warriors at Little Bighorn *and learn how Devil's Den, Slaughter Pen, and Bloody Lane got their gruesome names...and more! In addition to chronicling paranormal activity, visitor information, such as the best times to go and tour options, are revealed.

Written for both tourists and armchair travelers, this reference offers a brief history, photographs, and detailed visitor information for the spookiest old beacons in the United States, most of which are open to the public. From the frequent smell of cigar smoke to piano music heard inside, the paranormal activity revealed to occur in these abandoned lighthouses is simply spine chilling. Some even offer ghost tours and after-hours investigations. The anguished screams of condemned prisoners can still be heard at Execution Rocks Lighthouse in New York, while the spirit of a murdered keeper still lingers at St. Simon's Lighthouse in Georgia: he climbs the tower stairs every night, still trying to perform his duties. At the Point Lookout Lighthouse in Maryland, thousands of Confederate soldiers died while imprisoned during the Civil War; subsequent investigations have captured 24 different voices cursing and moaning on digital recorders. The suicide of a lovelorn keeper whose wife ran away with a local ferry captain occupies the New London Ledge Light in Connecticut, while the paranormal activity at Port Boca Grande Light in Florida involves both a pirate and a princess. Ghost and architectural enthusiasts alike will appreciate reading about these marvelous monuments, including a Victorian mansion light station in the middle of the ocean, the biggest ligh-station complex in the United States, and the tallest lighthouse in Oregon, which is perched precariously on a rocky cliff 205 feet above sea level.
