Synopsis

Each county in the vast territory of southern Georgia has a haunted history. The old Barber-Tucker Inn in Colquitt County and the renovated former Scottish Inn in Bryan County host ghostly guests. A profane spirit disturbed a house's former residents with vile language. The Hairy Man still searches a swamp for his long-lost son. A Dodge County ghost twice saved the lives of a family's children, while one in Liberty County mysteriously extinguished a fire that would have destroyed a historic house. Ghosts in Randolph County and Echols County provided the living with evidence sufficient to convict their murderers. Join author Jim Miles as he recounts stories from the fifty-seven counties of the region.

Review:

"Every county in Georgia has at least one ghost story, and author Jim Miles has gathered them into three books.

"Haunted North Georgia," "Haunted Central Georgia" and "Haunted South Georgia" were published by The History Press on Oct. 2.

Miles traveled to all 159 counties, as well as two counties that "went extinct" during the Great Depression. The completion of the books was a 10-year project for Miles." Gainesville Times
