Phantom Army of the Civil War: And Other Southern Ghost Stories

For nearly fifty years, FATE Magazine has informed and entertained readers with stories of ghosts. UFOs, and other unexplained phenomena. This collection represents some of the best Southern ghost stories ever to appear in FATE, the world's oldest magazine featuring the true reports of strange and unknown occurrences.

Phantom Army of the Civil War compiles thirty-five tales of first-hand encounters with specters and phantoms, of ghost-ridden swamps and the eerie mansions that populate the haunted South. The stories are alphabetically organized by the state in which they occurred, and cover a span of more than forty years.

The rich and emotional history of the American South certainly adds something unique to this collection--many of the spirits fought and died during the Civil War, our bloodiest and most costly conflict; others lived long before then, helping in America's fight for independence from the British. But not every story deals with wars or battles; there are tales of lost and betrayed love, and of ancestors looking to protect the living from beyond the grave.

Written by anyone from the average person to the professional paranormal investigator--each of whom has been haunted by the often-terrifying spirits of men, women, children, and even animals--this unique and varied collection will offer something different for everyone, whether you believe in ghosts or not.
