Other editions of book Monsters & Ghosts of West Virginia by Erin Turner

A collection of fifteen stories some well-known, some lesser known, and some brand new about West Virginia ghostly creatures. Beautifully illustrated with original paintings by Erin Turner, the stories are perfect for children s story time or a family campfire. Natives will recognize and enjoy tales of the state s most famous creatures and ghosts: the red-eyed Mothman, the green-cloaked Flatwoods Monster, and the unstoppable Greenbrier Ghost. Other stories focus on strange beings spotted the world over: aliens, the fabled Bigfoot, and UFO s. The Mountain State s seclusion has attracted stories about giant catfish, apple pickers, and mythic birds. Headless ghost, the ogua water monster, and haunted houses are also included. As home to a volatile and sometimes bloody history we ve been left with more than our share of disgruntled spirits.
