    About this ebook

    Step across the threshold of a haunted hotel in California's renowned Gold Country and encounter phantom figures of yesteryear. Wispy apparitions of gentleman guests in Victorian coats and ladies in fashionable flapper gowns glide through the walls, while unexplained sobs and choking gasps disturb the night. There's Stan, the Cary House's eternal desk clerk, and bachelor ghost Lyle, who tidies the Groveland Hotel. Flo tosses pots and pans in the National's kitchen, while the once-scorned spirit of Isabella ties the Sierra Nevada House's curtains in knots. From suicidal gamblers to murdered miners, the Mother Lode's one-time boomtowns are crowded with characters of centuries past. Book your stay with author Nancy Williams as she explores the history and haunts of the Gold Country's iconic hotels.

    Nancy K Williams

    Exploring mountains, old abandoned mining camps and deserted diggings has always fascinated Nancy. A lifetime in the West has given her plenty of opportunities to learn about the many different people who struggled to carve out their lives amid its beauty and massive challenges. Her first magazine article was about a haunted Mother Lode hotel, and it was followed by many others and three books on "Haunted Hotels" in California Gold Country, Northern Colorado and Southern Colorado.
