About the author
Al Cobb writes true-crime-adjacent ghost-story collections centered on Savannah, Georgia, one of the cities regularly cited as among the most haunted in the United States. His books, published by Schiffer Publishing, include Savannah's Ghosts and its sequel Savannah's Ghosts II, which gather reported hauntings, poltergeist accounts, and other purportedly true spiritual events from the city's long history, and Danny's Bed, which follows his own family's experience with unexplained occurrences after buying an older Savannah house. The tone across the books is anecdotal and local rather than academic, aimed at readers interested in regional ghost lore, historic architecture, and first-person haunting accounts rather than the broader theory or history of spiritualism. Cobb's work fits within a genre of city-specific ghost-tour literature, and the Savannah books in particular function as a companion to that city's reputation for hauntings.
