Book Description
The Olentangy River runs through it—and ghosts inhabit it. Take a tour of central Ohio’s haunted hamlet with its resident paranormal expert. The infamous Vaudeville ghost that still puts on a show at the Strand, the mischievous, piano-playing poltergeists of the Arts Castle, and the bearded ghoul that speeds at a hellish pace down North Franklin Street in a horse-drawn carriage―these are the otherworldly denizens of Delaware, Ohio. Local ghost expert John B. Ciochetty’s collection of haunted lore will have skeptics and believers alike looking over their shoulders as they walk down the city streets. Behind the folklore and legends, readers will find the strange but hard facts of history that have given rise to tales of the city’s restless spirits. Join Ciochetty as he explores the other side of Delaware to discover its spine-tingling, haunted history. Includes photos! “Delaware’s local ghost expert . . . experienced several paranormal encounters on campus. That’s what inspired him to write books about paranormal activities at the university and around Delaware.” —The Delaware Gazette

Book Description
Frightening, sometimes amusing, always entertaining, this collection spotlights haunted tales from around the First State. Experience a sixth-grader's terrifying "game" with a talking board and a beautiful spiritual send off for a dying patriarch. Visit Fort Delaware where ghostly "chatter" may raise your hackles and read about one family's "ghost stories" spanning four generations and eighty-years. Discover the haunts of Cape Henelopen, Sussex, Kent, and New Castle counties, Newark, Wilmington, Delaware City, Dover, Smyrna, and more. Stories range from the strange and ghoulish, to the slap-stick comical. Urban legends are also explored to determine if the hype is trustworthy – some remain unexplained, while a few are debunked as pure invention. Included are results from several firsthand "haunted investigations," with a surprise ending to one inquiry that nobody saw coming!
