About the author
Adam Woog is the author of nonfiction titles on regional folklore and the paranormal, including Haunted Washington: Uncanny Tales and Spooky Spots from the Upper Left-Hand Corner of the United States, published by Globe Pequot, and Possessions and Exorcisms, published by Referencepoint Press. Haunted Washington collects ghost stories and reportedly paranormal happenings tied to specific places across Washington State, from well-known figures to lesser-known local legends. Possessions and Exorcisms surveys the idea of demonic possession as it appears historically across cultures and religious traditions, describing reported symptoms and practices associated with exorcism. Together the two books show Woog working in both regional ghost-lore writing and broader reference nonfiction on paranormal and religious subjects, aimed at general readers with an interest in local history and folklore rather than at specialists or practitioners.
