About the author
Frances H. Casstevens writes regional ghost-story nonfiction centered on North Carolina, published by History Press. "Ghosts of the North Carolina Piedmont: Haunted Houses and Unexplained Events" (2009) collects reported hauntings and unexplained occurrences from the Piedmont region, including accounts tied to Civil War history, such as a soldier said to haunt the tree where he died, alongside local legends of unexplained voices and footsteps. The catalogue includes both the standard and library editions of the same title. The book fits within the regional true-ghost-story genre common to History Press's catalogue, pairing local history with collected folklore for readers interested in North Carolina's past and its associated legends, rather than offering broader analysis of paranormal phenomena.
