Book Description
Listen to the stories of the restless dead Amidst the sparkling lakes and rolling hills of Northern Michigan lies Newaygo County. The towns nestled within her borders were founded by hardy pioneers, and while their spirit lies in a sense of community, it is said that a few ghostly spirits also haunt the area. Atop a tree-covered hill sits a long-abandoned house, where the spine-tingling cries of the ghost of Screaming Ethel can be heard. The strains of unearthly piano music emanated through the rooms of a 1920s era mansion once belonging to Al Capone's lawyer. The wraithlike spirit of a little boy is seen walking precariously along a river dam. Join author Marie Helena Cisneros as she weaves the area's vibrant history together into some of Newaygo County's most chilling tales.
