About the author
L. B. Taylor, Jr. is the author of The Big Book of Virginia Ghost Stories (Globe Pequot Publishing, 2019) and Haunted Virginia (Stackpole Books). Both books collect ghost stories and reports of paranormal activity tied to Virginia's history, including stories connected to the American Revolution and the Civil War, two conflicts that left the state, in the author's framing, among the most haunted in the country. The Big Book of Virginia Ghost Stories is pitched as an entry point for readers new to the paranormal, while Haunted Virginia gathers a wider set of regional legends, including the story of the female stranger. Catalogued under spiritualism, Taylor's work is addressed to readers interested in Virginia's local history and folklore as much as in ghost stories for their own sake, using specific places and historical episodes as the anchor for each account.
