Set in Montgomery, Alabama, the capitol of Alabama, Haunted Montgomery, Alabama shares ghostly tales which focus on the famous Hank Williams, spirits that inhabit the Alabama State Capitol and the former home of Zelda Fitzgerald, the frequent appearances of the ghosts at Huntingdon College and Old Alabama Town, and several others that will be of interest. And for all of you baseball fans, the spirits that call their home Biscuit Stadium may be of interest to you. Below is am image of the cemetery at the now Biscuits Stadium.
Montgomery is my home, so these ghost tales were especially interesting to me. I have heard many of these stories before, mostly from the mouths of those claiming to have seen and heard these spirits. I found each chapter and history-laden page fascinating. It is stunning how much history this book has revealed about my own hometown.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this history rich book is one you will want to read and keep in your library. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend Haunted Montgomery, Alabama, and I may just think twice before heading out alone to visit these haunted landmarks.
