Along the way, they discovered many strange things. They began with a tour of Indian burial mounds. These were all of different sizes. Some had been excavated, while others were intact. Those which had been excavated showed details of Indian life heretofore unknown. Styles of pottery never before seen had been buried alongside jewelry and murals of daily life. One very large mound had been completly destroyed. When the couple asked questions, they found that the mound had been torn down to use the soil for a building project in a nearby town. Not a thought was given to the rich history it might contain or the tourists it might bring. All that remains is several small mounds of earth and a few shards of pottery.

This book brings new stories from all walks of life. The couple even solves a very old murder. Each discovery is uniquely strange in one way or another. They followed tales of ghosts and ghost lights, listened to a new storyteller, and made a slow jouurney from sea to shining sea.
