Just a quick overview of Ghosts of the Southern Mountains and Appalachia by Nancy Roberts (University of South Carolina Press, 1978) is actually a quick read. Markedly only 150 pages, it's a composition of short recountings of haunts. Of course, my interest in the Bell Witch of Adams, TN was answered by page 12. (I won't deny, I can't get enough of this Tennessee legend.)
I have to say, it was tales I'd not really heard anything about. It was a bit of insight into the communities around which the tales are woven as well. This doesn't fall into the serious read category. Looking for a glimpse of Southern "haints", read it. It took less than 3 hours for myself.
