West Virginia's Fairmont State University Publishes Collection of Appalachian Ghost Stories

From a site called Appalachian History

These stories have been compiled by a number of writers, many from long standing local legends and edited by Dr. Ruth Ann Musick.

"In these stories, ghosts fill and color the folk landscape of Appalachia, making trouble and causing disturbances for people from all walks of life. In “The Family That Disappeared,” a ghostly mist haunts a family, while a group of lumberjacks experience the fright of their lives in “Ike the Lumberjack.” A young couple find themselves living in a haunted house in “A Night of Horror,” and in “The Ghost of the Golden Cup,” an antique dealer finds that he has gotten himself into more than he had bargained for. The uncanny and the macabre fill these authentic Appalachian ghost tales, breathing life into the stories of the undead."
