Ghosts on the Square: Legends, Lore, and Lies invites readers to explore the mystical charm of Laurens, South Carolina, where history clings to every street corner, and restless spirits roam the Square. Peggy Cwiakala, a former coffee shop owner turned storyteller, takes us on a journey through the town's past, blending history with eerie encounters and ghostly legends. Laurens is no ordinary town. Over centuries, its courthouse square has seen joy, tragedy, love, and betrayal, and it seems that some of its residents, living or otherwise, are not ready to leave. From Belle, the heroic fire horse whose spirit lingers in the gardens she once loved, to Billy, a troubled poltergeist tossing flour in a local restaurant, Laurens' ghosts are as memorable as its live characters. Each story pulses with the energy of a town that has seen it all: Civil War soldiers, the bustling cotton trade, timeless romances, and heartbreaks that echo still. Readers will meet Eliza, an independent woman of the 1790s whose last act left a trail of vanilla-scented whispers, and The Snake-Oil Prince, a silver-tongued salesman haunted by the spirit of a man his potions couldn't save. Cwiakala's own encounters add a personal touch, as she recalls mischief stirred up by Henry, a playful presence she met while running her beloved coffee shop. In Ghosts on the Square, each chapter conjures up a distinct tale. Laurens is brought to life through spectral encounters at places like the old Echo Theater, where an ancient ghost finds meaning through the magic of silent cinema, and Ghost Creek Road Bridge, where a bridegroom's spirit lingers, waiting for the love he never reached. Told with warmth, humor, and respect for Southern folklore, Cwiakala's tales reveal a town where the veil between past and present is thin, and the stories are thick with mystery. Ideal for fans of historical fiction, Southern folklore, and ghost stories, Ghosts on the Square is more than a collection of ghost tales. It's a tribute to the people, legends, and spirits that give Laurens its soul. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, these stories will linger long after you close the book. Step into Laurens, and feel the pull of its history-a history that's very much alive.
