About the author
Christopher Forest is the author of North Shore Spirits of Massachusetts and Boston's Haunted History, both published by Schiffer Publishing. North Shore Spirits of Massachusetts surveys reportedly haunted sites along the region's North Shore, an area also known for famous authors and its maritime history, including a tale of a colonial-era witch said to still roam the cave where she was buried. Boston's Haunted History turns to the city itself, collecting ghost stories and legends tied to specific Boston locations and figures, from war-torn lovers to vengeful pirates to wandering travelers, framed as a less-told side of the city's well-known past. Both books combine local history with collected ghost lore, aimed at readers with an interest in Massachusetts history and regional hauntings rather than at readers seeking scholarly or practice-based material.
