""In this fascinating collection, residents of Cape Cod share stories about ghosts who descend staircases that no longer exist, kiss sleeping women, flip theater seats, fold laundry, and join musicians onstage. While seeking out only the mysterious, the authors instead met intelligent, thoughtful individuals who related their stories with humor and insight. What these ordinary Cape Codders have to say may challenge your notions of haunted houses. Whether you're amused or comforted, puzzled or disturbed by these stories, they are above all thought-provoking and entertaining. They also capture the unique charm of the Cape - a combination of tradition, natural beauty, maritime lore ... and mystery. Enter the Cape's historic, soulful homes and discover a world in which the past is very much alive."--Publisher's description."
