Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths and True Tales – Natural Bridge Hotel, North Bend Plantation in Charles City, Piney Grove Plantationin Charles City, Martha Washington Inn in Staunton, and on Chincoteague Island where the legendary Chincoteague ponies live, there’s Manor House Bed and Breakfast (it is haunted). PKK: Spooky Stays: Haunted Richmond Virginia – None in this book. I also do myths of famous Virginians, like Edgar Allan Poe, George Washington and others, plus myths and legends of Civil War in Haunted Virginia, that is not in Haunted Richmond.ĬM: Do you feature any Spooky Stays or Eerie Eateries & Pubs in your books? Both books have history when the haunting or legends have that behind them. Haunted Richmond, Virginia has not only myths and legends, but mostly true ghost stories. And finding that Professor Cline’s Haunted Monster Museum is actually haunted when I got there was my bonus and is in the part about that place. If a myth has the true ghost story that I can find, then I add that–like Natural Bridge Hotel and Natural Bridge Caverns. PKK:Though there are some true ghost stories in it, it is more myths, legends, urban legends and true stories that sound like legends, but are not. Good things for a fiction writer to know.ĬM: What will readers find in Haunted Virginia that they won’t in Haunted Richmond? (Or what will they notice that’s different between the two?) One thing about writing these books, I learn things I never knew before, whether history or legends. When my editor, Dinah Roseberry, posted on the forum at Mid-Atlantic Horror Professionals if any of us horror authors liked to write real ghost stories I took the chance and submitted a proposal for Haunted Richmond, Virginia.Schiffer Publishing accepted it, I wrote it and it got published and the rest was history. Taylor with his books on hauntings in Virginia are two authors I read a lot. KINNEY: I’ve read these kinds of books since I was young–Hans Holzer andf later L. I hope you’ll get as big a kick out of it as I did…not to mention some insight into some very awesome sounding Virginia Haunt Jaunts!ĬOURTNEY MROCH: What inspired you to write both Haunted Richmond, Virginia and Haunted Virginia?

Kinney is the author of Haunted Richmond, Virginia, and her newest release, Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths, and True Tales. I dared to contact her about whether she’d be interested in being interviewed and to my delight she said she would!īelow is the result of our Q&A session.
