About the author
Jim Miles has written extensively on Georgia's haunted history for History Press, with titles covering the state region by region, including Haunted South Georgia, Haunted Central Georgia, Civil War Ghosts of Atlanta and Civil War Ghosts of Central Georgia and Savannah, most published in 2013 and 2017. According to his publisher, Miles traveled to all 159 of Georgia's counties, plus two that no longer exist after the Great Depression, gathering ghost stories tied to specific places. A significant part of his catalogue focuses on Civil War-era hauntings, connecting reported paranormal activity to sites from Sherman's March to the Sea and other campaigns across the state. His books combine local and military history with collected ghost lore, aimed at readers interested in Georgia's past as much as in the supernatural claims themselves, and form one of the more geographically comprehensive bodies of regional ghost writing in this catalogue.
