Ghost Hunter Guide
In the Heart of the Midwest, many people have discovered the natural beauty of the famous Hocking Hills region. However, aside from the miles of hiking trails and cascading waterfalls, awesome cliff edges and unique recess caves, the Hocking Hills region is also known for adventures beyond the realm of the first five senses. In Haunted Hocking: A Ghost Hunter’s Guide, authors Jannette and Patrick Quackenbush present a collection of over 55 local legends, scary tales and spine-chilling ghost stories which will make any reader shiver with fright.
The tale of a ghost who haunts Old Man’s Cave along with his baying hounds and the spirits who haunt the abandoned tracks of the Moonville Tunnel awaits readers in the book. And there is the grave still bearing the bloody mark from a man breaking family tradition in Rushville and the statue of an angel in Athens that weeps. Whether a skeptic or believer, any reader will enjoy these frightening bits of folklore from Lancaster to Moonville, Logan to Jackson, Wellston, Athens and beyond.
It takes a sense of adventure and the ability to debunk a lot of naturally occurring phenomena to ghost hunt outdoors. Having members with a scientific background in the natural environment –naturalists, biologists and rangers - has helped the Haunted Hocking Investigation Team provide evidence to some of the folklore of the area. The Haunted Hocking Investigation Team has explored many of the natural environments of the region. Founders, Jannette and Patrick Quackenbush, have compiled many of the ghost stories, images and case files they have collected from around the region to share with readers.
