Haunted Memphis

Haunted Memphis by Laura Cunningham is part of the Haunted America book series. It's an interesting look at some of the old Memphis stories and would be a good starting point, but I found it more helpful to use an internet search to find the ghost stories. That allows me to easily find maps to sites and to follow the links down related bunny trails. For visitors to the city I'd recommend one of the local ghost tours.

from the back of the book:

Much like its muddy riverbanks, the mid-South is flooded with tales of shadowy spirits lurking among us. Beyond the rhythm of the blues and tapping of blue suede shoes is a history steeped in horror. From the restless souls of Elmwood Cemetery to the voodoo vices of Beale Street, phantom hymns of the Orpheum Theatre and Civil War soldiers still looking for a fight, peer beyond the shadows of the city’s most historic sites. Author and lifelong resident Laura Cunningham expertly blends fright with history and presents the ghostly legends from Beale to Bartlett, Germantown to Collierville, in this one-of-a-kind volume no resident or visitor should be without.
