124 pages of illustrated of stories of hauntings from Vancouver, Washington -=| $12.95 |=-

Vancouver USA Ghosts Volume I Vancouver, Washington, known to some as Vancouver USA is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest.  Founded as the Hudson's Bay post of Fort Vancouver in the 1820s, a small town quickly grew up around it.  In the 1840s, American settlers began arriving, and in 1849, the U.S. Army came,  establishing the Vancouver Barracks.  Although the army left in 2011, many of its old soldiers remain, and have not faded away.   There are many stories from the Vancouver Barracks, such as the ghostly sentry who haunts the Parade Ground.  There is General Alfred Sully, and the many other resident ghosts at the Ulysses S. Grant House.  There are also the spirits along Officers Row, such as the ghostly nanny of Windemere Realty, mentioned in Haunted History: Northwest, and the other buildings, such as the Post Hospital, built in the early 1900s. There are many stories from downtown Vancouver's historic core, including the buildings lining Main Street, Esther Short Park, and several of downtown's historic homes.  Stories include the Slocum House Theater, visited by the TV show, The Dead Files. There are also several stories of haunted houses, where the author hid the location, to protect current tenants.   This book retails for $12.95, and has 124 pages, with over a dozen illustrations. Some of the locations in this book are mentioned in Jeff Davis' earlier books.  However, he has updated the original stories, to include recent hauntings, as well as newly discovered historic facts.  There are many locations that will be new to readers of Jeff's previous books.   Table of Contents Introduction,   Revised and revisited stories - Ockham's Razor Ghosts and Hauntings,   What is a ghost and ghostly etiquette?

SORRY THIS BOOK IS OUT OF PRINT! WE HOPE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE AS AN E-BOOK IN 2024   This book includes haunted locales which range from hotels, to bed & breakfasts, to restaurants, to museums . In my other books, I only discussed Washington and Oregon. Here, I include haunted places in British Columbia. It is divided by geographic sections: The first section begins with the southern end of the coast. The listing continues northward through Washington. The next section is southern British Columbia. The guide then moves south, into the Puget Sound. It continues south through the Portland Basin and Willamette Valley, then east through the Columbia River Gorge and eastern Washington and Oregon. There are nearly 200 locales in this book. They are generally listed in alphabetical order. In the case of cities with several hauntings, such as Seattle, the haunts are divided into sections: Places to Stay; Restaurants, Clubs and Theaters; and Shops, Sights and Sounds.
