From the archives of FATE magazine, this colorful collection of true ghost stories rises out of the United States' rich tapestry of Southern history. While most of the stories focus on specters from the United States' bloodiest internal conflict, others paint pictures of spirits still wandering the earth two centuries after their deaths. The narrators will pull you into the heart of their tales, so leave the light on and be ready to shiver.

Book Description
PHANTOM ARMY OF THE CIVIL WAR
and other SOUTHERN GHOST STORIES
Compiled and Edited by Frank Spaeth from the files of FATE Magazine
For nearly fifty years, FATE Magazine has informed and entertained readers with stories of ghosts, UFOs, and other unexplained phenomena. This collection represents some of the best Southern ghost stories ever to appear in FATE, the world's oldest magazine featuring the true story of strange and unknown occurrences.
PHANTOM ARMY OF THE CIVIL WAR compiles thirty-five tales of first-hand encounters with specters and phantoms, of ghost-ridden swamps and the eerie mansions that populate the haunted South. The stories are alphabetically organized by the state in which they occurred, and cover a span of more than forty years.
The rich and emotional history of the American South certainly adds something unique to this collection -- many of the spirits alluded to fought and died during the Civil War, our bloodiest and most costly conflict; others lived long before then, assisting in America's fight for independence from the British. But not every story deals with wars or battles; there are tales of lost and betrayed love, and of ancestors looking to protect the living from beyond the grave.
Written by anyone from the average person to the professional paranormal investigator - each of whom has been haunted by the often terrifying spirits of men, women, children and even animals - this unique and varied collection will offer something different for everyone, whether you believe in ghosts or not.
