Haunting Women

By Amanda R Woomer

Stories to make you gasp in fright ... and in wonder! From famous women such as Anne Boleyn and Lizzie Borden to lesser-known wraiths, spirits, and specters, you will learn who these ghosts were in life and why they continue to haunt us even in death!

Society has long viewed women with suspicion. They've either been called witches, madwomen, vengeful seductresses, and other insulting labels or they were put on an unrealistic pedestal as models of purity and innocence. Did these tropes follow some women beyond the grave? Decide for yourself as you read unnerving stories in Haunting Women: Ghostly Wives, Mothers, Maidens and Ladies such as . . .

The Greenbrier Ghost, who returned from the dead to accuse her husband of murder.

Kate Morgan, cursed to wander the afterlife with her broken heart.

Moll Dyer, who was executed because of a witchcraft accusation.

Esther Montour, remembered by contemporaries as kind and agreeable but as a fiend, fury, demon, and executioner in the history books.

The White Witch of Rose Hall, painted as the sadistic villain who tortured her slaves and a black widow who murdered numerous husbands.

Mary Todd Lincoln, one of America's most polarizing historical figures, haunts the home she once shared with her husband, Abe.

Bridget Bishop, who continues to haunt the land that was once hers in the heart of downtown Salem, Massachusetts.

Anne Boleyn, one of the most misrepresented, misinterpreted, and misunderstood female figures in history, whose spirit wanders the Tower of London.

Minnie Quay, who is said to haunt the dark waters of the Great Lakes.

Evelyn McHale, whose self-immolation was captured by photographer Malcolm Browne in 1963.

And a whole host of other wicked, wanton--or simply misunderstood--femme phantoms that haunt the pages of this bone-chilling collection of ghost stories!

Compelling and unsettling, Haunting Women will leave you asking whether the horrors and injustices of life shaped the ghosts we find today. . . . Explore its pages if you dare!!
