About the author
Visionary Living Inc is a book-packaging imprint associated with the paranormal researcher and author Rosemary Ellen Guiley, credited on its titles' cover copy as their author. Its books in this catalogue, "The Big Book of West Virginia Ghost Stories" (Globe Pequot, 2019) and "Haunted Salem" (Stackpole Books, 2011), follow a regional-guide format, pairing ghost stories and hauntings with practical information about publicly accessible haunted sites, historic inns, and houses connected to each story. "Haunted Salem" also covers the town's witch-trial history, curses and spells associated with it, and burial superstitions tied to the area. The books are written for general readers with an interest in ghost tourism and regional paranormal history rather than for scholars, combining narrative folklore with visitor-oriented detail about the places described.
