What does it mean for a religion to be ¿true¿? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where this question became a matter of life or death, or at least, of sanity or madness? I have. A combination of personal history, self-examination, and dialogue with the thoughts, writings and experiences of others, this book is an account of how, in part during a crisis that erupted out of a precipitous decision to enter Islam in 1995, and in part through the lessons learned over the years that followed, I discovered, as a Muslim, how to re-own the Christian faith the seeds of which were planted in my youth. Beyond this, it tells the story of how, out of this re-owning of my Christian faith, I came to embrace a broader, ecumenical spirituality in which I continue to progress toward recognition of, and reconciliation with, my most genuine self.

Nancy Roberts has often been described to as the "e;First Lady of American Folklore"e; and the title is well deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about their recollections of encounters with the supernatural.This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. Encouraged by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a "e;custodian of the twilight zone"e; by Southern Living magazine, Roberts based her suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which earned her a certificate of commendation from the American Association of State and Local History for her books on the Carolinas and Appalachia.

Once deemed the "e;custodian of the twilight zone"e; by Southern Living, celebrated storyteller and ghost hunter Nancy Roberts returns to familiar subject matter in this newly expanded edition of her Ghosts of the Wild West, a finalist for the Spur Award of the Western Writers of America in its original edition.In these seventeen ghostly tales-including five new stories-Roberts expertly guides readers through eerie encounters and harrowing hauntings across Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the Dakotas. Along the way her accounts intersect with the lives (and afterlives) of legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday. Roberts also justifies the fascination among ghost hunters, folklorists, and interested tourists with notoriously haunted locales such as Deadwood, Tombstone, and Abilene through her tales of paranormal legends linked to these gunslinger towns synonymous with violence and vice in Western lore. But not all of these encounters feature frightening specters or wandering souls. Roberts also details episodes of animal spirits, protective presences, and supernatural healings.Forever destined to be associated with adventure, romance, and risk taking, the Wild West of yore still haunts the American imagination. Roberts reminds us here that our imaginations aren't the only places where restless ghosts still roam.

Roberts writes stories from a wide variety of locations: "e;Night of the Hunt"e; in Hendersonville, North Carolina; "e;Return of the Bell Witch"e; in Adams, Tennessee; "e;The Shenandoah Stage"e; in New Market, Virginia; "e;Chain Gang Man"e; in Decatur, Alabama; "e;Fort Mountain"e; in Fort Mountain, Georgia; "e;Laura"e; in Campbellsville, Kentucky; "e;The Coming of the Demon"e; in Middleway, West Virginia.

Few events have sparked more legends and stories of the supernatural than America's Civil War. The accounts of gallantry and heroism have spread far and wide. Nancy Roberts grew up listening to her father's stories of the War Between the States and she trekked over many battle sites with him during her childhood. After reading about General Joshua Chamberlain's supernatural experience at the Battle of Gettysburg, Roberts began to collect tales of the blue and gray and write them down. In her latest collection, the reader will visit famous Civil War sites such as Fredericksburg, Antietam, Johnson's Island, Andersonville, Fort Davis, Gaines Mill, Gettysburg, Fort Monroe, Harpers Ferry, Vicksburg, Richmond, Charleston, New Bern, and Petersburg. Through these stories, the reader will hear the voices of those brave individuals who lived through that dramatic era. Visit with Brigadier General J.E.B. Stuart on the banks of the Chickahominy River. Get the real story about John Brown's activities at Harpers Ferry. Hear the eerie whistle of Abraham Lincoln's funeral train.

Ghostwriter Nancy Roberts spins fascinating tales about 24 haunted houses all over America.
