Cape Encounters: Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories

In their own words, forty Cape Codders describe ghosts who descend staircases that no longer exist, kiss sleeping women, flip theater seats, fold laundry, and join musicians onstage. Among those sharing their stories are the former National Environment Coordinator, a scientist from the United States Geological Survey, a retired West Point professor and a Wampanoag Native-American educator.

While seeking out only the mysterious, the authors of Cape Encounters instead met thoughtful individuals who related their stories with humor and insight. Enter Cape Cod's historic, soulful homes and discover a world in which the past is very much alive.
