Haunted Pirate Tales from The Pearl Inn - Virginia Chandler - Bog

Love pirates? I love pirates. I really love pirates. I also really love scary stories about witches, ghosts, and other things that allegedly go "bump in the night". So, it should not surprise anyone that I came up with a collection of scary pirate tales.
What might surprise you is that some of these tales are loosely based on actual events with my own spin of superstition and shadow. Certainly, enjoy the tales for what they are; but, if you want to know where some of these rather frightening and disturbing plots came from, see the What's Real and What Isn't section in the back of the book. In the meantime, know that The Pearl is a lonely tavern on a tiny piece of gray land called Block Island. It is where mysterious scoundrels and thieves have come for both respite and refuge. Captain William Kidd stayed on this island after being declared a pirate. Paulsgrave Williams, the famous pirate and partner of Black Sam Bellamy, spent his youth on this same island. Some stay and some move on. Some will tell you that the island is haunted while others will tell you that it is protected by its own weather witch. Whichever you choose to believe or whatever you experience at The Pearl, know that it is a mystical place where magic...and more... can happen.
