Haunted Uwharries : ghost stories, witch tales and other strange happenings from North America's oldest mountains / Fred T. Morgan ; illustrated by Tim Rickard.

Morgan, Fred T. (Author).

Summary:

"The hardy folks who settled in the Uwharrie Mountains of Central North Carolina loved to tell of the strange happenings that occurred in their ancient and lovely hills. Fred T. Morgan, a descendant of those pioneers, has collected 35 unsettling tales sure to entertain his legions of readers. From the ghostly figure seen clinging to a grave, the restive spirit relentlessly searching for the knitting needle used to murder seven women, or the witches seeking revenge on passersby for a hanging from long ago, these tales from the master of Uwharrie folklore reveal that there's more to these hills than tranquil widerness"-- Back cover.
