River of Ghosts

Haunted Legends Along the Mississippi River

Along the Mississippi River, the past refuses to rest.

From Minnesota’s fog-covered bluffs to the haunted riverfronts of Louisiana, the Mississippi flows not only with water, but with memory, tragedy, and restless spirits. In River of Ghosts, bestselling author Robert Turek (Haunted Quincy) takes readers on a chilling journey through one of America’s most haunted regions.

Step inside Victorian mansions where maids and soldiers still walk the halls. Wander through river towns scarred by war, scandal, and sorrow. Hear the echoes of steamboat disasters, Civil War battles, and tragedies that time could not wash away. With a blend of meticulous research, folklore, and eyewitness accounts, each chapter immerses you in both the haunting atmosphere and the rich history that binds these ghost stories to the river itself.

Perfect for fans of haunted history, paranormal investigations, and true ghost stories, River of Ghosts is both eerie and illuminating. More than a collection of hauntings, it reveals how the Mississippi River remembers every life touched by its waters, carrying voices from another time.

Discover why the Mississippi is more than a river—it is a river of ghosts.
