Cry of the Banshee is the first comprehensive book and guide to the hauntings and weird tales of West Virginia and the rugged lands along the Ohio River. Born of the popular Haunted Parkersburg Tours, these unique stories of the unknown not only delve into the history and hauntings of West Virginia but also reveal how to recognize ghosts, how to know if your house is haunted and even the 13 most likely places to find phantoms.

In this chilling volume, the reader will meet not only West Virginia Banshees but another more famous portent of doom, the Mothman. And here, for the first time, discover accounts of the creature, the infamous Men in Black, encounters with Ingrid Cold and more unexplained happenings that have never appeared in print before! Also included are tales of haunted houses, spirit-infested cemeteries, Civil War ghosts, grieving women in white, the haunting tales of Blennerhassett Island, a very haunted hotel, ghostly railroads, eerie tunnels, a haunted beer joint and much more!

Travel into the strangest regions of West Virginia and the Ohio Valley but tread softly for you never know who might be coming up behind you!
