About the author
Beth Brown is the author of several regional books on hauntings and folklore, including "Haunted Plantations of Virginia", "Haunted Battlefields: Virginia's Civil War Ghosts", and "From a Witch's Kitchen: Celebrating Seasonal Magic in Every Meal", the first two published by Schiffer Publishing. The Virginia titles collect ghost stories tied to specific historic sites — plantations, and Civil War battlefields such as Cold Harbor and Fredericksburg's Sunken Road — pairing local history with reported paranormal encounters. "From a Witch's Kitchen" shifts register toward seasonal, nature-based practice, offering close to a hundred vegetarian recipes organized around the turning of the year. Together the books suit readers interested in American regional ghost lore and in kitchen witchcraft as a seasonal, food-centered practice, rather than readers looking for a single unified body of theory.
