“Highlight[s] the numerous spirits which inhabit this charming Georgia town, while also offering a glimpse into the town's non-paranormal past” (Newswire). Few places have continued to grow, prosper, and maintain a small-town atmosphere and sense of history like Marietta, Georgia. Of course, a sense of community is not the only preserved presence from the past. Paranormal specialist and Marietta resident Rhetta Akamatsu combines her research with a passion for history to deliver a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the area's rich and, in some cases, undying spirit. Hear the whispers of Confederate generals still echoing in the Kolb Farm House; cozy up with the unsettled spirits of the 1848 House; meet the phantoms lurking throughout Town Square; and brush up on your local history if you dare summon the Ghosts of Marietta. Includes photos! “In her book, Akamatsu isn’t content to delve immediately into the paranormal, but is respectful enough of her adopted home to explore some of Marietta’s stately history first.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

From burial mounds to haunted hotels, fugitives to river phantoms, Ohio’s first settlement is number-one in paranormal activity. Haunted Marietta: History and Mystery in Ohio’s Oldest City explores the supernatural side of the state’s first settlement. Visit a crumbling mansion from 1855, whose original owner still roams the halls; sit in the plush red seats of an abandoned theatre; and climb an ancient Indian burial mound. Encounter river pirates, fugitive slaves, an axe murderer, jealous lovers, and inept morticians. Haunted Marietta delves into various types of otherworldly phenomena, examines the difference between ghost stories and reports of supernatural activity, and discusses why certain people become spirits. From an 1815 goblin sighting to a bartender’s brush with the unexplained, local author Lynne Sturtevant covers it all. Includes photos!
