About the author
Charles Cassady writes regional guides to paranormal lore and ghost stories, published by Schiffer Publishing. Paranormal Mississippi River: An Illustrated Encyclopedia catalogs supposed hauntings and strange phenomena along the river in an A-Z, cross-referenced format aimed at travelers and enthusiasts. Cleveland Ghosts: Nights of the Working Dead in the Modern Midwest collects local legends and reported sightings from Cleveland, Ohio, mixing documented accounts with folklore such as the Melonheads and the Franklin Castle curse. Both books work as reference-style compendiums rather than narrative history, organized for readers who want to look up a specific place or story rather than read straight through. The tone stays close to local journalism and folklore collection, gathering testimony and legend without claiming to verify supernatural events. Cassady's books suit readers interested in regional ghost lore and armchair paranormal tourism.
