This review is from: Great Southern Mysteries (Paperback)

Wow! I never knew that the South had so many strange happenings! Sure, we all know about the famous skunk ape (bigfoot, sasquatch) and the Bermuda Triangle, but did you know that there are healing springs in South Carolina, a sea maiden in Biloxi, or a headless horsemen in Texas? Do you know the true story behind the Bell Witch of Tennessee, the Fountain of Youth, or Blackbeard? I only knew half of the story before I read this book. E. Randall Floyd does a teriffic job of relaying spine-tingling tales and making you question reality. This book not only tells the story, but gives you the history and the myths behind the mystery. After reading this book, there are so many new places in the south that I want to visit just so I can see some of these things for myself! Floyd will make a believer out of you!
