| Summary |
"Massachusetts, a New England state with a proud history and a vibrant culture, is more than white church steeples and town greens. In the forests and meadows surrounding quaint, colonial towns lurk spine-chilling ghosts such as the specters of Freetown State Forest, rumored hermits, and shadowy creatures, all awaiting the next hiker to stumble down the trail."-- Provided by publisher. |
