Georgia Author Taps into the Spirit of Marietta, GA with History Press's Haunted Marietta

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2010 -- Few places have continued to grow, prosper and maintain a small-town atmosphere and sense of history like Marietta, Georgia. Of course, a sense of community is not the only preserved presence from the past...

Paranormal specialist and Marietta resident Rhetta Akamatsu combines her research with a passion for history to deliver a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the area's rich and, in some cases, undying spirit. Hear the whispers of Confederate generals still echoing in the Kolb farmhouse; cozy up with the unsettled spirits of the 1848 House; meet the phantoms lurking throughout Marietta Square; and brush up on your local history if you dare summon the ghosts of Marietta.

Long-time Marietta resident Eddie Hunter says:""Not only is it a good book on Marietta's spirits but Rhetta has done an excellent job capping the history in a nutshell." Other readers have commented: "I think if you wrote history books, people would take more of an interest in them," "I'd give it 5 stars. . 6 out of 5 if I could."

Haunted Marietta is available at all major bookstores in Georgia and at Amazon.com and other fine online bookstores.
