Fourteen true tales, including five locations open to the public, may convince you. Are you ready to meet Miss Daisy of Oakleigh?

Find out why the docents at the Richards-DAR House believe the Richards children still play there, and consider the mystery of the Lady who resides at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion, mourning at the windows. Lost loves, forgotten victims of Mobile's notorious yellow fever epidemics, and residents who can't bear to leave this historic and haunted city will stay on your mind, long after you finish the last story. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Intelligent ReadDec 18, 2000
Ms. Parker has a reporter's knack for relating tales. She approaches the stories with a sense of adventure and history and handles each one professionally and respectfully. I look forward to reading more Southern ghost stories from her.

Southern Ghosts Stories are the BEST!Dec 18, 2000
As a resident of Mobile I often wondered why with our rich history, no one ever talked about our ghosts. Now someonw has! Parker's book centers on the historical homes in Mobile and tells the lesser known tales that the tour guides don't like to talk about. Can't wait for the next book.

 Great ReadDec 15, 2000
I'm from Mobile, and this is a great book. It is extremely well-written, and has a lot of interesting facts and stories. I never knew there was so much ghostly activity in Mobile. I would have given it 5 stars if it had been longer. I would also recommend it as a great Christmas present.
