Folklorist and author Jannette Quackenbush, creator of the Haunted Ohio series and The Big Book of American Ghost Stories, has spent decades exploring Ohio’s haunted history. Her research combines newspaper archives, oral tradition, and fieldwork to uncover the real stories behind the legends of the Hocking Hills.

“My books are not about my journeys—they’re about my readers’ journeys. I want them to walk where the stories began, to stand where history still lingers.” — Jannette Quackenbush

Whether you’re a traveler, ghost hunter, or lover of Ohio folklore, Haunted Hocking is your guide to the shadows of the Hocking Hills—where every echo and hollow tells a ghost story.
