Weird Encounters is now in bookstores! Fiona Broome is one of many authors who’ve contributed stories to this great new anthology of ghost stories in the Weird U.S.A. series.
In this book, you’ll read Fiona’s stories about:
– Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans’ haunted French Quarter. Though Brennan’s is a popular restaurant with tourists and locals (as well as visiting celebrities), the restaurant is also home to several interesting ghosts.
In this book, Fiona shares additional information about Brennan’s “Red Room” where a haunted painting and a “cold spot” in front of the fireplace are just a few reminders of a chilling legend and a lasting ghost story.
Nearby, the ghost of an elderly woman can be friendly… or so scary that she drove an entire group of construction workers out of the building.
At the front door and throughout the restaurant, watch for the benevolent ghost of Brennan’s former lead chef. In Weird Encounters, you’ll discover the reasons why he haunts the restaurant, and the quirky requests he made at death.
– Houmas House is a magnificent mansion with a history that includes several ghosts… perhaps thousands of Civil War soldiers that gather nearby.
From the moment you pass through Houmas House’s sparkling white gates, you may see the ghost of a 19th-century servant in broad daylight.
The playful spirit of a little girl lingers on one stairway, and may peek at you from mirrors, particularly in the bedroom where Bette Davis stayed while filming Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte.
– Wentworth by the Sea is a grand hotel just outside Portsmouth, New Hampshire. During many happy chilhood summers as a hotel guest, Fiona encountered interesting and everday ghosts throughout the building.
In this book, Fiona shares her early experiences at a haunted wing of the hotel, and tales of other spirits.
– Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, New Hampshire has been a local legend for many years. However, Fiona was the first to document its ghosts and describe them online.
In Weird Encounters, Fiona shares some of the odd and interesting ghosts of this southern NH cemetery.
Weird Encounters is sort of a sequel to Weird Hauntings, which included some of Fiona’s ghost stories as well.
You’ll find this book at Amazon.com and other bookstores. (Most Barnes & Noble bookstores have it in stock right now.)
Also, if you’re at the Portsmouth (NH) Barnes & Noble, you may find autographed copies of this book.
Weird Encounters is a hardcover book with over 75 stories on 320 pages with full-color illustrations.
