Historic Jonesborough is rich in traditions -- and in ghosts. According to folklorist Price, nearly every historic house in this oldest town in Tennessee boasts at least one resident spook. One story is actually from an account that appeared in the town's newspaper in 1875.
Along with stories about the ghost that hated the Confederacy and the ghost that kept bumping into people, you will find chilling tales of a ceiling that dripped blood and a murderous tree that stalks the countryside looking for unsuspecting victims.
There is unexpected variety within these pages. The author explains he has "...tried to provide a balance of all the different types of stories that float around Jonesborough...handed down orally from person to person over the years. The first written version of many of these stories is contained in this book".
Revealing that historic Jonesborough is rich in both traditions and ghosts, this book of folklore claims that nearly every historic house in this oldest Tennessee town boasts at least one resident spook.
