Haunted Holidays

Haunted Holidays is a blend of the two topics, merging them together in such a way that entertains the reader with paranormal and personal experiences, as well as a historical document of holidays that are celebrated in our country. A perfect fit for anyone who would enjoy ghost stories and being educated about holidays in our country.

From ghost dogs to phantom orbs, from dead spirits visiting and avenging wraiths, there is plenty in Haunted Holidays to keep skeptic and believer both enthralled, reading until the last tale is completed.

~Thomas Freese, author of Haunted Battlefields of the South

In Haunted Holidays, celebrated storytellers Roberta Simpson Brown and Lonnie E. Brown have assembled a hair-raising collection of paranormal tales for readers of all ages. More than just a collection of Halloween ghost stories, the Browns' Haunted Holidays takes readers on a fireside journey through the hauntings of holidays throughout the calendar year, including tales of the ghost who hated Labor Day and the child who made good on his promise to return a silver dollar on the Fourth of July.
