These stories are not natural. They are supernatural. All of them are eerie and some are downright scary. So before we begin, let me tell you an old storyteller’s trick for preventing nightmares. Tonight, before you get in bed, I want you to take off your shoes—you probably do that anyway, right?—I want you to take off your shoes and put them underneath your bed, with the toes facing opposite directions. If you do that, none of the stories in this book will give you any troublesome dreams. I first heard stories like these when I was a boy growing up in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, where my family has lived for more than two hundred years. Even then I loved the dark, wild feeling of these tales.As an adult, I have done my best to keep the old tales alive and to create some original ones based on the tales I heard while I was growing up. As any storyteller must, I have remembered, reshaped, and reworked these stories to make them come alive on the printed page.I hope their magic will charm you, as it has me.These stories are at their best when they are read aloud on a cool, windy night when the moon is full and the house is dark and quiet.So turn down the lights, gather your courage, and enjoy these supernatural stories from the Pennsylvania mountains.
