Product Description
Bringing a whole new meaning to the term historical interaction, Bastien visits firehouses, taverns and cemeteries to exhume those bits of the past whose clammy fingers still cling to the present. The vividness of her spellbinding accounts will have you smelling the sulfur of dead-but-not-departed Hessian mercenaries in less time than it takes to shiver.

A wonderful read (even if you've never been to Mount Holly) August 9, 2008
The town of Mount Holly has one of the richest histories in New Jersey. During the Revolutionary War battles were fought here and nearby, local Quakers hosted runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad, legends of witchcraft and the Jersey Devil abound, and the fire company is the oldest continually run in the country. A town with so much history is bound to have its share of ghost stories, and Jan Bastien has collected a lot of great ones in this book. There are stories from the local jail (now a museum), library, firehouse, and cemeteries, along with various haunted restaurants, shops, and private homes. A highly entertaining, colorfully written, and informative book.
