Produktbeschreibung
With its sweeping vistas and rugged beauty, the Pacific Northwest is a natural setting for the extraordinary. Strange tales of paranormal phenomena and other wild stories thrive among the trees and waterways, including sightings of Bigfoot, werewolves, and other mysterious cryptids. Is there a curse tied to the worst streetcar disaster in Tacoma--and America--that resulted in 44 deaths? Rumor has it that a model carved from the wooden remains of the crash claimed at least three more lives. A tree stump in Crater Lake is said to have power over the weather, and Terrible Tilly, a lighthouse on Tillamook Head, claimed several victims both before and after it was built. Author and historian Ira Wesley Kitmacher explores the mysterious side of the Pacific Northwest.
