Book Signing: Thomas Dresser, Ghosts of Martha’s Vineyard

Join Island-based author Tom Dresser as he signs copies of his book Ghosts of Martha's Vineyard.

We all know Martha's Vineyard is a great tourist destination.  But who knew it has a number of haunted houses, inns, and even the county jail?

Ghosts of Martha's Vineyard is ripe with strange sights and inexplicable scenes.  Do you know about Helen, the whaling captain's widow, waiting for his return?  She haunts the Newes from America, tossing wine glasses across the room, flicking the lights and stirring up the embers in the fireplace at the end of the evening. British Redcoats were seen partying in a house in West Tisbury.  In the 1990s!  What's that all about?

Who knew about the woman seen in a gingerbread cottage?  She even passed through the room of a sleeping teenager, who wakened to watch her rustle the covers on her bed.

From Aquinnah to Edgartown, from Chilmark to Oak Bluffs and Tisbury to West Tisbury, haunted happenings are all the rage on Martha's Vineyard.  Lots of exciting experiences await the curious tourist in Ghosts of Martha's Vineyard.
