Haunted Highways of Virginia - Paperback

by Michael Kleen (Author)

Virginia's Haunted Highways is a chilling journey through the forgotten corners of the Old Dominion, where every mile of cracked asphalt and winding highway whispers stories of bloodshed, betrayal, and the unexplained.

From colonial-era graveyards and Civil War battlefields to ghost towns, haunted roadsides, and legendary bridges, bone-deep local legends and first-person encounters await. You'll meet outlaws and soldiers, nurses and mourners, spirits who never left, and roads that offer far more than scenery.

With a storyteller's eye and a historian's passion, author Michael Kleen is your guide to the haunted heart of Virginia--where the past is never past, and the road ahead may vanish in the fog. Buckle up. The ghosts are waiting.
