Forty Cape Codders describe ghosts who descend staircases that no longer exist, kiss sleeping women, flip theater seats, fold laundry and join musicians onstage. Among those sharing their stories of haunted houses and inns are the former National Environment Coordinator, a scientist from the United States Geological Survey, a retired West Point professor and a Wampanoag Native American Educator. Those who have experienced America's most beloved summer travel destination will find this collection much like the Cape itself--beguiling, indelible and timeless. Enter Cape Cod s historic, soulful homes and discover a world in which the past is very much alive.

Dan Gordon first experienced the magic of Cape Cod as a child vacationing two weeks each summer in Chatham. His admiration for the Cape's soulful homes inspired him to spend the last decade researching the Cape's ghost stories. He has written extensively on baseball and co-authored "Haunted Baseball: Ghosts, Curses, Legends & Eerie Events" and "Field of Screams: Haunted Tales from the Baseball Diamond, the Locker Room, and Beyond." He recently contributed two chapters on global baseball to the forthcoming "Baseball Beyond Our Borders: The International Pastime."
Gary Joseph, a lifelong Barnstable resident, has long been interested in accounts of ghost encounters. As a child, he enjoyed listening to adults tell these stories and observing the way people told them--their expressions, their mannerisms, and how they captivated an audience. His writings have appeared in the Cape Cod Times, Cape Cod Chronicle and Scene. He also writes about film, natural history, and the outdoors.
