Here in Eastern Kentucky not everyone believes in ghosts, but almost everyone has a ghost story to tell. Some of the stories I have collected are very personal and others are legends or stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. The stories I have collected cover a wide range of topics. The topics include everything from strange unexplainable noises to full bodied apparitions. Eastern Kentucky is rich with ghost stories and folklore and these are just a few. Herman Webb, brother of country music icon Loretta Lynn submitted stories of his youth and strange occurrences that took place in the small coal town of Van Lear, located in Johnson County. Every story in this book means something to the people who shared them with me. This book is just a glimpse into the lives, legends and stories of the people who live on the "Dark and Bloody Ground"

"Lynwood Montell has collected ghost tales all over the state of Kentucky, from coal mining settlements to river landings, from highways to battlefields. He presents these suspense-filled stories just as he first heard or read them: as bona fide personal experiences or as events witnessed by family members or friends. There are over 250 stories in Ghosts across Kentucky that are set in specific places and times. They include tales of graveyards, haunted dormitories, animal ghosts, and vanishing hitchhikers. Montell describes weird lights, unexplained sounds, felt presences, and disappearing apparitions. Phantom workmen, fallen soldiers, young lovers, and executed criminals appear in these pages, along with the living who chance upon them. Though the focus is on the stories themselves, Montell also includes a chapter explaining our fascination with the supernatural and the deep truths these storytelling traditions reveal about our lives and our pasts.William Lynwood Montell, emeritus professor of folk studies at Western Kentucky University, is the author of several books, including Killings."
