About the author
Jannette Quackenbush writes regional ghost-story collections focused on Ohio, published by 21 Crows Dusk to Dawn Publishing. Ohio Ghost Stories and Spooky Legends: The Classics (2020) gathers local folktales and reported hauntings from around the state, including accounts tied to specific crossroads and towns in Brown County. Moonville: Its Past, Its Ghosts, Its Legends (2017) is devoted to the abandoned Moonville Tunnel, pairing ghost stories with hiking directions, maps, and photographs of the site. Both books work as a hybrid of local history and travel guide, aimed at readers who want to visit the places described rather than simply read about them. The tone throughout is folkloric rather than investigative: Quackenbush presents stories as they circulate locally, with attention to setting and legend, and the books are written for enthusiasts of Midwestern ghost lore and on-foot ghost tourism.
