Get Your Free Copy of "Whispers from the Grave" Haunted History, plus a fiction story based on the real history, from a 40-Year Veteran Investigator
"Whispers from the Grave" takes you to three historically significant Southern locations where the past refuses to stay buried:
All Saints Cemetery, South Carolina - Where the legend of Alice Flagg has captivated visitors for generations
Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans - Built on an old racetrack, home to a police chief whose murder sparked one of America's darkest chapters
Grancer Harrison's Cemetery, Alabama - The final resting place of a man whose Saturday night dances may continue even after death
Each location gets the full treatment: meticulous historical research followed by an atmospheric fictional story that brings the documented past to life.
What Makes This Collection Unique
Most ghost stories skip the real history. "Whispers from the Grave" gives you both - the documented historical events that shaped each location, followed by fictional stories that imagine what might have happened in those same places.
Each of the three chapters follows the same captivating format:
Part One: The real history behind the location, including archival research and documented accounts
Part Two: An original fictional story set in that same location, bringing the historical setting to life
It's like getting a history lesson and a ghost story collection rolled into one compelling read.
What You'll Discover Inside
Chapter 1: All Saints Cemetery - Pawleys Island, South Carolina Uncover the true story of Alice Flagg, separating documented history from romantic legend, then experience a fictional encounter with a mysterious figure searching for something lost long ago.
Chapter 2: Metairie Cemetery - New Orleans, Louisiana Investigate the real story behind Police Chief David Hennessy's 1890 murder and the tragic lynchings that followed, then witness a fictional meeting with a spirit seeking justice for the wrong men.
Chapter 3: Grancer Harrison's Cemetery - Kinston, Alabama Explore the documented life of William "Grancer" Harrison, a 1800s plantation owner who loved music and dancing, then read a chilling fictional account of what happens when the dead refuse to stop celebrating.
From Someone Who's Been There
As someone who's spent 40+ years investigating historically significant locations across America, I've learned that the most compelling stories are rooted in real events. That's why "Whispers from the Grave" combines documented history with imaginative fiction - because sometimes a story can capture truths that straight historical accounts can't touch.
My work has been featured on the Travel Channel, accepted into the Library of Congress collection, and included in prestigious university libraries such as Princeton and Harvard, but what I'm most proud of is bringing these forgotten histories back to light.
What Readers Are Saying
"I loved how each chapter started with real historical research, then showed what those places might feel like if the stories were true. The Alice Flagg chapter alone was worth the read."
"Finally, someone who separates fact from folklore BEFORE telling the ghost story. The New Orleans chapter about Chief Hennessy was fascinating."
"The Alabama dancing ghost story gave me chills. Perfect combination of documented history and creative storytelling."
