What does it mean for a religion to be ¿true¿? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where this question became a matter of life or death, or at least, of sanity or madness? I have. A combination of personal history, self-examination, and dialogue with the thoughts, writings and experiences of others, this book is an account of how, in part during a crisis that erupted out of a precipitous decision to enter Islam in 1995, and in part through the lessons learned over the years that followed, I discovered, as a Muslim, how to re-own the Christian faith the seeds of which were planted in my youth. Beyond this, it tells the story of how, out of this re-owning of my Christian faith, I came to embrace a broader, ecumenical spirituality in which I continue to progress toward recognition of, and reconciliation with, my most genuine self.

During the course of her research into some of South Carolina's classic tales, Nancy Roberts heard accounts of happenings in the recent past and even the present day. They're all here: from the famous Gray Man of Pawleys Island who warns of coming storms to the ghost of the poor fellow whose small plane went down in the 1950s near Walhalla leaving him to forever hitchhike Highway 107. Everybody has heard of Alice of Murrells Inlet who is still looking for her lover's ring, but who haunts the house in Summerville, even now, and why?The eighteen stories told here will have you looking over your shoulder and shuddering at even a gentle breeze-so take care. Supernatural occurrences in South Carolina are not all in the past!

Ghostwriter Nancy Roberts spins fascinating tales about 24 haunted houses all over America.

This is the first book to tie together the earlier gold rush in the Carolinas and Georgia with the well-known California gold rush of 1849. It presents a history of the Southern gold rush and the legends that have grown up around it. Nancy Roberts tells how it all began in North Carolina, which supplied all the domestic gold coined at the U.S. Mint between 1804 and 1828. She tells the story of the discovery of the gold in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama and later in California and Colorado, including how the Virginia, Carolina and Georgia gold miners abandoned their mines within weeks after news arrived of the discovery of gold at Sutter's Creek. And, for a while, they were said to be the only experienced miners in the Western gold fields.Ms. Roberts recreates with gusto and suspense the experiences of real people-the adventurers and entrepreneurs, family men and rascals, immigrants and bandits, entertainers and miners-and also includes several tales of the supernatural from the period.There was North Carolina's flamboyant Walter George Newman, who fleeced the wolves of Wall Street; "e;Fool Billy,"e; who South Carolinians disocered was not a fool at all; a romantic specter called Scarlett O'Hara of the Dorn Mine; Georgian Green Russell, with his beard braided like a pirate, who founded Denver; "e;Free Jim,"e; the only black man in Dahlonega to own his own gold mine only to leave it for San Francisco; the Grisly Ghost of Gold Hill; a general from North Carolina who became an influential Californian; the ghost Bride of Vallecito; and California's bandit, the enigmatic Black Bart.

Once deemed the "e;custodian of the twilight zone"e; by Southern Living, celebrated storyteller and ghost hunter Nancy Roberts returns to familiar subject matter in this newly expanded edition of her Ghosts of the Wild West, a finalist for the Spur Award of the Western Writers of America in its original edition.In these seventeen ghostly tales-including five new stories-Roberts expertly guides readers through eerie encounters and harrowing hauntings across Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the Dakotas. Along the way her accounts intersect with the lives (and afterlives) of legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday. Roberts also justifies the fascination among ghost hunters, folklorists, and interested tourists with notoriously haunted locales such as Deadwood, Tombstone, and Abilene through her tales of paranormal legends linked to these gunslinger towns synonymous with violence and vice in Western lore. But not all of these encounters feature frightening specters or wandering souls. Roberts also details episodes of animal spirits, protective presences, and supernatural healings.Forever destined to be associated with adventure, romance, and risk taking, the Wild West of yore still haunts the American imagination. Roberts reminds us here that our imaginations aren't the only places where restless ghosts still roam.

A collection of 33 ghost stories and legends, offering a haunted tour of coastal North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It includes the tale of the restless spirit who troubles visitors to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the ghost of the Union soldier killed at Charleston's Fort Sumter.
