About the author
Laurie Hull is a Pennsylvania-based writer of regional ghost-lore guidebooks published by Schiffer Publishing. Philly's Main Line Haunts (2009) and Brandywine Valley Ghosts: Haunts of Southeastern Pennsylvania (2008) walk readers through specific reputedly haunted sites, from cemeteries and historic inns to a Revolutionary War battlefield, pairing local history with ghost stories tied to named locations. Supernatural Mid-Atlantic broadens the geographic scope to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, cataloguing over a hundred paranormal places, people, and reported phenomena across the region. Hull's books belong to the travel-and-folklore tradition of American ghost writing, aimed at readers who want a guide to visit or read about haunted places rather than a theoretical treatment of the paranormal. No biographical detail beyond her authorship of these regional guides is available from the catalogue listing.
