Book Description
Have you ever heard weird, unexplainable sounds in the night in your house, while everyone else is asleep? Do you believe those sounds were made by ghosts? Or maybe you don't believe in ghosts. If not, how do you explain those strange noises--or were they just a figment of your imagination? Deedra Pope, a quiet, sensitive, bespectacled twelve year-old, wanted to be taken more seriously about what she saw and heard in and around the house her family had moved into three years ago. It was hard to convince them that a ghost crept into the house every night while they were all asleep. Mrs. Pope felt these ghost stories were just a figment of her daughter's vivid imagination, especially since she had a special gift for creating stories and writing poetry. Her father was always too tired to care, and her siblings didn't want to hear about such spooky things. After three years of a series of frightful events, Deedra was finally able t o persuade her family to become believers. In fact, they waited until it was almost too late. Only Deedra can tell the story the way it really unfolded...

Illinois Haunted Route 66
Author: Janice Tremeear
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625847300
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
There’s no detour from terror on this creepy thrill ride down part of America’s historic highway—from the author of Haunted Ozarks. Route 66 is no longer the main thoroughfare between Chicago and St. Louis, but if local lore is to be believed, ghostly traffic along the Mother Road continues unabated. Janice Tremeear chases down accounts of a man executed for witchcraft, the demon baby of Hull House, and the secrets of H. H. Holmes’s “Murder Castle.” Native American legends place the piasa bird in the skies above the highway’s southern stretch with the same insistence that characterize contemporary UFO sightings in the North. In between, spirits such as Resurrection Mary join the throng of hapless souls wandering the roadside of the Prairie State’s most famous byway.
