Don't you just love a good ghost story? A Vermont Haunted History is brimming with a collection of Vermont ghost stories, haunted locations and mysterious people and places. Just the type of reading you will want to indulge in on a dark, rainy evening. Vermont is famous for maple syrup and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream but perhaps it's best kept secret are the delightfully creepy ghost stories and legends that have been passed down by generations of Vermont families. Within the pages of this book, should you dare, you will find frightening tales of vengeful spirits and abandoned places. Discover why some of the 19th century curses still exist today and what happened to some of the victims. You will marvel at the amazing burial places, mausoleums and monuments, including the story of one man's elaborate tomb specially constructed should he suddenly awaken and find himself buried alive! Vermont has a number of haunted inns and hotels including one benevolent, tap dancing spirit and others that refuse to leave. The story of "Black Agnes" comes with a twist, you simply won't expect. All of this including a companion website with tons of photos and video that accompany these chilling tales. Enjoy, if you dare!

Book Description
It's been several months since Simon Inescort had a heart attack and keeled over the rail of a Nova Scotia-bound ferry. His widow, Lorca Pell, sold their farmhouse to newlyweds Zachary and Muriel after revealing that the deed contains a 'ghost clause, ' an actual legal clause, not unheard of in Vermont, allowing for reimbursement if a recently purchased home turns out to be haunted. In fact, Simon finds himself still at home, replaying his marriage in his own mind, while also engaging in occasionally intimate observation of the new homeowners. When a child goes missing the Green Mountain Agency assigns Zachary, their rookie detective, but the case threatens the couple's domestic equilibrium. -- adapted from jacket

Book Description
A chilling ghost story with a twist: the New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People returns to the woods of Vermont to tell the story of a husband and wife who don't simply move into a haunted house--they build one . . . In a quest for a simpler life, Helen and Nate have abandoned the comforts of suburbia to take up residence on forty-four acres of rural land where they will begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams. When they discover that this beautiful property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by the local legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman who lived and died there a century ago. With her passion for artifacts, Helen finds special materials to incorporate into the house--a beam from an old schoolroom, bricks from a mill, a mantel from a farmhouse--objects that draw her deeper into the story of Hattie and her descendants, three generations of Breckenridge women, each of whom died suspiciously. As the building project progresses, the house will become a place of menace and unfinished business: a new home, now haunted, that beckons its owners and their neighbors toward unimaginable danger.

Book Description
"It may seem like clambakes, the Red Sox, and the Patriots define New England, but boy did the Pilgrims land in one very strange spot! These six states are filled with odd curiosities and bizarre legends, such as the elusive Vermont hum, the hibernating hill folk, hillside whale tales, and the Holy Land (yes, you read that right). Tongue-in-cheek and filled with dry wit, this is a journey you'll not soon forget."--P. [4] of cover.
