Its beautiful homes and tidal waterways belie a history of violence.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilmington is a true theatre of horror, the cast of which includes runaway slaves, children lost at sea, murderous lovers and fallen women of the night who linger in Paradise Alley. Wilmington's ghosts make the Cape Fear region worthy of its name. Author John Hirchak calls upon years of experience as the owner and guide of the Ghost Walk of Old Wilmington to lead his readers on a journey down back alleys and docksides, stopping at various points along the way to listen to the lingering whispers of generations long dead. A wonderful mix of humor and horror, Ghosts of Old Wilmington will delight any reader with an interest in Wilmington's unsavory past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Hirchak lives with his wife, Kim, and their son, Miles, in Wilmington, North Carolina.
