Charles Town, WV – A Haunted History

Published in September, 2010.

According to the article “Book signing scheduled”, published in The Spirit of Jefferson on September 15, 2010, Ann researched and wrote the book after leading her first – and very successful – guided walking tour of haunted Charles Town.

“I wanted to learn more about the families that shaped this town. I wanted to tell authentic, documented stories while preserving the dignity of those families.”

The book includes spine-tingling stories of more than 100 restless spirits in the Charles Town area. It is now out of print.
