Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is filled with captivating long-lost ghost stories collected over the life of the author. All occur somewhere in Arkansas. Many Legends and Lore come from all sides of his family; some are believed to be true some are just funny. It is a wonderful book for someone that likes to jump into any of the stories without worrying about them needing to be read in order. The tales of hauntings in this book can frighten and fascinate some are about spirits that seem eternally restless, unable to find peace many times. Some of the structure of this book mirrors how ghost stories are often told: secondhand, or by someone with a story who is reluctant to share it. So that just as ghost stories are passed down and retold, they are written in differing styles so that the reader can further develop the narrative themselves.

During the Civil War, when Maranda Simmons boldly retrieved her stolen horses from a Union camp, soldiers believed she was a haint. When a cast-iron stove fell on Grace Sollis's baby, she gained superhuman strength, picked up the stove to free the baby and then ran circles around the log cabin until she came to her senses. After patiently waiting years for her promised dream house, Elise Quigley and her five children tore down their three-room shack and moved into the chicken house after Mr. Quigley left for work. Join author Cynthia Carroll, a descendant of six generations of Ozark natives, as she details the legends and lore of the Arkansas Ozarks.
