Early Stories and Childhood Memories

This book is a collection of strange and scary stories I either heard growing up, or personally experienced, while growing up primarily in Buckingham County. Some stories are remembrances of stories told by family members or others in the neighborhood. These stories told were often told late in the evening or at night as we sat around talking, usually in a room lit by a lamp on a cold winter night.
Three of the stories are stories I personally experienced. One of the stories happened late one evening while waiting for my mom to return home. Another scary story was an encounter I suffered one night while returning home from playing basketball at my cousin's house. I also include a personal achievement story, and two family members' historic participation in the Civilian Conservation Camp (CCC) in the early 1940s.
