Are you looking for a book about ghost stories about the Civil War told today, or stories told back then? Sorry for not understanding. I'm sure the others will be able to help you right off.

Hmm, I think I'll have to help you later. I have a title but can't think of it now. Sorry!

God Bless America!

Allen, Mark Nesbit has at least four books out on the Ghosts of Gettysburg...I also have Battlefield Ghosts by B. Keith Toney, Blue&amp;Gray Magazine's Guide to Haunted Places of the Civil War, Civil War Ghosts put out by August House Publishers...I have a few others, but they are loaned out right now and I can't remember the names of them...
I think a couple of these include the story of the Deason House in Ellisville, MS which belonged to my ggfather's first wife's family...I have visited there...It was a little creepy, but no ghosts appeared....+=0)

I have purchased two of his books, Ghosts of Pennsylvania which includes 9 Gettysburg stories and Civil War Hauntings and beyond which includes 11 Gettysburg stories. My view is that alot of the stories could be explained away and some are just plain spooky. I enjoy reading them though.

My ex girlfriend was heavily into ghost hunts and the like. She had piles of books on most haunted places. The only Civil War haunting I found, was the story of a headless Confederate who wanders the fields of Chickamauga.
