Since I was a kid, I’ve loved a good ghost story, so a few months ago when I saw there was a book coming out with ghost stories specific to a town close to me, I made sure I was one of the first people to get a copy.

My guest today is Liz Pardue. Liz and her co-author Kelly Prestipino just released their book titled: Fuquay-Varina Ghosts Legends and Lore and I wanted to dive into why they make the claim that this little town is the most haunted town in the South.

Oh, and if you’re scratching your head wondering, what a book about ghosts has to do with joyful rebellions, just remember, Every time anyone identifies a passion outside of their day-to-day life and runs with it, that is it’s own joyful rebellion and the only way we ended up with these great stories to captivate us.

Stick around until the end and I’ll tell you how you can win a free copy of their new book.
