[From the Meadows Foundation website]
"What ghosts roam within the historic sites and buildings of Central New Jersey? How accurate are the traditional stories? From the shadowed woods of the Somerset Hills to the dappled banks of the Delaware River, “Ghosts” delivers a rich mix of factual history and the sound investigation of ghostly phenomena. The combination of an open-minded enthusiasm and a level-headed approach underscores this collection of reports that will inform, entertain, and lead the audience to places where the past is considered to be very much alive and entwined with the present."

Books will be available for purchase for $18 each and the author will be on hand for signing!
