About the author
Linda Alice Dewey writes nonfiction accounts of hauntings and paranormal contact, and her two books here, The Ghost Who Would Not Die and Aaron's Crossing, both published by Hampton Roads Publishing Company, center on individual spirits she describes encountering. The Ghost Who Would Not Die recounts the story of a runaway slave murdered during the Civil War, told in what the book presents as his own words as relayed through Dewey. Aaron's Crossing grows out of an experience in an abandoned cemetery in 1991 and follows her attempt, over subsequent years, to understand and reach the presence she felt there. Both books combine historical research with first-person paranormal narrative, aimed at readers interested in ghost stories grounded in specific documented places and historical events rather than general guides to the supernatural.
