Ghosts & Haints of the Mountain State

Fueled by a lifelong fascination with folklore, legends, and unexplained encounters, Melanie Cook began weaving original ghost tales that capture both the eerie beauty and the unsettling darkness of Appalachia. Rather than chasing proof, these stories are about chasing wonder- the thrill of a creaking floorboard in an empty room, the chill of hearing your name whispered in the dark, the goosebumps that come when folklore feels just a little too close to truth. The author's greatest joy lies in blending love for storytelling with a deep appreciation for the paranormal. Through these tales, readers are invited to walk the haunted paths of the Mountain State, not as tourists, but as fellow seekers of the strange and mysterious. Because in West Virginia, the past never rests- and the hills never stop whispering.
