Haunted Hikes in New Hampshire
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, October 30, 2008.
Anyone who’s ever sat around a campfire in the woods telling ghost stories understands just how eerie a dark forest can be. Suddenly the possibility of spirits lurking behind trees and skulking through the shadows seems real. If you’re camping in New Hampshire, there’s even more reason to be frightened. The state’s forests and mountain peaks have a long, dark history, and many stories to tell. Marianne O’Connor gathers some of the spookier - or just plain out-of-the-ordinary ones - in a new book, Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire. It’s part hiker’s guide and part local history lesson. There are stories that are perfect for reading around a campfire. Some are more well-known, but many aren’t so familiar. Marianne is a teacher in Nashua and also writes for The Hippo, and joins Word of Mouth with more on the cursed Mount Chocorua, ghost sightings on Mount Washington, and UFO abductions.
