Big Book of Washington Ghost Stories

Washington gained statehood in 1889, but the land has been inhabited for at least 4,000 years, and that gives rise to a lot of ghostly tales. Janice Oberding collects them here: the headless ghost of Col. Isaac Ebey, the ghosts of the Andelana, which mysteriously sank at Tacoma while anchored in Commencement Bay, the spectral little boy in blue who inhabits the governor's mansion in Olympia, the old Greenwood Cemetery, and the victims of the wicked Linda Burfield Hazzard. Paperback, 232 pages, from Globe Pequot Publishing.
