Cape Encounters: Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories

Forty Cape Codders describe ghosts who descend staircases that no longer exist, kiss sleeping women, flip theater seats, fold laundry and join musicians onstage. Among those sharing their stories of haunted houses and inns are the former National Environment Coordinator, a scientist from the United States Geological Survey, a retired West Point professor and a Wampanoag Native American Educator. Those who have experienced America’s most beloved summer travel destination will find this collection much like the Cape itself–beguiling, indelible and timeless. Enter Cape Cod’s historic, soulful homes and discover a world in which the past is very much alive.
