Welcome to the Boneyard Book Journal

In the dimly lit corners of the ancient library, there lurked a creature unlike any other - a book consuming ghoul. With an insatiable appetite for knowledge, this shadowy figure roamed the endless rows of shelves, its sharp eyes scanning for its next literary feast.
Pages rustled as the ghoul snatched a tome from the shelf, clutching it tightly to its chest. The smell of aged paper and ink filled the air as the creature delved into the words, devouring each sentence with fervor. It was said that the mere touch of its fingertips could bring life to the most mundane of texts, breathing magic into the words on the page.
Whispers among the library patrons spoke of encounters with the elusive book ghoul - some claimed to have seen flashes of its glowing eyes peering out from behind tall stacks of books, others swore they heard its low, guttural growls echoing through the halls late into the night.
But despite its eerie reputation, the book ghoul was not feared by those who truly understood its nature. For within its dark, shrouded form lay a profound love for the written word, a relentless thirst for the stories and secrets held within the covers of each book it devoured.
And so the book ghoul continued its endless quest through the labyrinthine corridors of the library, forever in search of new tales to consume, new worlds to explore. A guardian of knowledge, a keeper of stories - the enigmatic ghoul remained a mysterious and fascinating figure, forever entwined with the boundless magic of the written word.

The Fairfield Haunting

Book overview from blurb on Amazon:

July 1-3, 1863. Two mighty armies clash outside the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In the aftermath, tens of thousands lay dead or wounded, many of the poor souls left abandoned on the battlefield for weeks or days. The Battle of Fairfield, a short but brutal cavalry engagement, is fought nearby. The victims are brought to the Fairfield Inn, now hastily pressed into service as a field hospital, where the surgeons ply their bloody trade. The Army of Northern Virginia then retreats through this small town southwest of Gettysburg, where Generals Robert E, Lee and Jeb Stuart also stop at the Fairfield Inn. Originally built circa 1757, the Fairfield Inn was also a stop on the Underground Railroad, used to hide runaway slaves who were fleeing to freedom in the North. Little wonder that it developed a reputation for being haunted that persists to this very day. Shadow figures and apparitions roam the hallways. Footsteps and disembodied voices disturb the sleeping guests late at night. Doors open and close of their own accord. Cold spots abound and objects are moved by invisible hands. Join author Richard Estep ("The Haunting of Asylum 49," "The World's Most Haunted Hospitals") as he and a small team of paranormal investigators move into the Fairfield Inn and work to uncover its many secrets. Accompany them on a tour of the most haunted parts of the Gettysburg Battlefield, from Devil's Den and Little Round Top to the Slaughter Pen, the Valley of Death, and finally to Pickett's Charge, where the ghosts of long-dead Civil War soldiers are said to still march, eternal spirit guardians of America's most hallowed ground.

The Farnsworth House Haunting

Book overview from blurb on Amazon:

July, 1863. The small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg is torn apart when two armies collide. Over the next three days, more than 50,000 men will become casualties, while the residents of Gettysburg take shelter in their cellars. On the southern edge of town, a brick house, owned by one Harvey Sweney, is taken over by Confederate skirmishers. From upstairs in the attic, snipers pour a withering hail of fire down on the Union position at Cemetery Hill. The Union soldiers fight back, peppering the south wall of the Sweney House with hundreds of bullet holes. The numbers of dead begin to mount on both sides, until General Lee finally withdraws his forces. Now, more than 150 years later, the Sweney House has become the Farnsworth House Inn. Echoes of those bloody days still linger. Phantom boots thud across the attic floor. Apparitions and shadow figures haunt the guest rooms and prowl the hallways. Join TV's Richard Estep (Haunted Case Files, Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal 911) as he learns why the Farnsworth House is rightly regarded as one of Gettysburg's most haunted places.
