Savannah Spectres

Front Cover
Schiffer Publishing, Limited, 1984 - Fiction - 295 pages
Savannah and the Georgia coast, with its old plantations, huge ancient oaks hung with Spanish moss, and tales of pirates, wars, fevers, African voodoo, and other supernatural doings, has always been a legendary and tragically romantic place. In this book, antebellum estates, house museums, long-conquered forts, and restored townhouses are visited with a noted psychic investigator in order to learn what it is like to live and work in these places today. The result is some seventy stories, skillfully interwoven with the heritage of the area's colorful past, and illustrated with over thirty photos and sketches by local artists. Incidents of precognition, extrasensory perception, deja vu and possible reincarnation are included in this personal and highly readable account of a search for the deeper meaning of life and death through psychic experience.

About the author (1984)

In the early 1980s Margaret Wayt DeBolt began compiling a collection of stories of the legends and folklores of Savannah's long history with the supernatural. As word got out that Margaret was interviewing more and more, people began to share personal stories and the collection of short stories became a book. After several years of research and interviews Savannah Spectres and Other Strange Tales was published in 1984.
