Book excerpt: Stroll along silent corridors of an abandoned asylum and linger among graves of Civil War dead - and discover the eerie ends of Stark County's departed souls. Ghostly diners, violent crimes of passion, phantoms peering from theatre balconies, canal workers who still walk the towpaths - the haunted history of Stark County includes characters and legends as bizarre as they are terrifying. Take a bone-chilling journey with Sherri Brake, owner of Haunted Heartland Tours, as she recounts tales of superstitious pioneers and the horrors of the great influenza epidemic of 1918.
