13 TERRIFYING TALES FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT. Rindoks, Leslie, editor — $16.95
92 pgs. full-color illustrations 2008 Upper elementary, middle school, high school.
Here are thirteen tales of haunted roads, mysterious lights, strange sightings, and a lingering curse—stories about places we know from storytellers that hail from North Carolina’s Piedmont: from Charlotte and Concord, to Mooresville and Winston-Salem.
This beautiful book includes accounts of the first sightings of the leathery looking, three-toed Lake Norman Sea Monster, as well as the tale of an altruistic spirit who points his heir towards $100,000. And in a Davidson-based story, George Washington’s spectre makes an appearance, too. For animal lovers, there are a couple of dogs (one frisky and one savage), a fateful cat that lures lost drivers off a road, and a flock of vultures.
