About the author
Dale Langella is the author of Haunted Alabama Battlefields (History Press, 2013), which surveys Civil War sites across a state where nearly every eligible person participated in the war in some capacity. The book moves between documented battle history and reported hauntings tied to specific locations, including Fort Blakely National Park and Crooked Creek, treating each site's wartime history as the basis for the ghost stories later attached to it. As with other History Press regional titles, the book is aimed at readers interested in Civil War history and Southern battlefield sites as much as at readers seeking ghost stories on their own, using local combat history to frame each haunted location it covers.
