About the author
Lynne Sturtevant is the author of Haunted Marietta: History and Mystery in Ohio's Oldest City, published by History Press in 2010 and reissued in a library edition the same year. The book pairs local ghost stories with the documented history of Marietta, Ohio's first permanent settlement, moving between a nineteenth-century mansion said to be haunted by its original owner and an abandoned theatre, using each site's factual history as the frame for the folklore attached to it. Sturtevant's approach treats the supernatural claims as part of a place's oral tradition rather than as verified fact, keeping the historical record - dates, buildings, named residents - at the center of the account. The book is aimed at readers interested in regional history and ghost-lore as it has developed around specific, identifiable buildings, rather than at general paranormal theory.
