Shadows and Cypress: Southern Ghost Stories by Alan Brown

An interesting collection of ghost stories and urban myths as recorded in the voice of the teller. This is more about social history than providing scares but is engaging and occasionally creepy nonetheless. The stories are organised by State and are in small, easily read chunks. Worth a look, especially if you are interested in verbal history/storytelling and/or are planning to embark on paranormal research.
