Haunted Marietta

Welcome to Ohio’s most haunted city.

 
 
 

 Haunted Marietta: History and Mystery in Ohio’s Oldest City explores the supernatural side of the state’s oldest settlement. Visit a crumbling 1855 mansion whose original owner still roams the halls. Sit in the plush red seats of an abandonned theatre and climb an ancient Indian 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, Lynne Sturtevant covers it all.

“Felt like the book entrapped me to read every story.” ~ Amazon review

 
 
 

“So many interesting stories! A real page turner, couldn't put it down.” ~ Amazon review

“As a local history/ ghost story collector I've read a lot of books on local history. One thing they all have in common, they tend to repeat several stories. I expected this one to be the same but it wasn't. It was more in depth and organized and there were alot of stories I had never heard. A little more expensive than I usually buy, but it was worth it.” ~ Amazon review
