Read about the shade of Dr. Samuel Crawford, the scoundrel who was the only man ever lynched in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, and the slave woman whose appearance foretold a death in the family near Hancock, Maryland. Then there’s the Devil Wind that ripped through Doe Gully, W. Va., a century ago, the unforgettable C&O Canal wedding in Cumberland, Md., the face that scared away the Washington lobbyists, and a dozen other haunting tales set in northeast West Virginia and Western Maryland. Plus "The Dead Redhead, " in both fact and fiction, the saga of the still unidentified redhead whose nude body was found near the Potomac River in 1950. To top things off, there’s a little delving into the reality behind weird tales and why they have such a hold on us, not to forget "Fine Virginia Line, " a Civil War story unlike any other.
