THE HAUNTING OF THE HOCKOMOCK SWAMP $2.99 Kindle Edition amazon/dp/B00KB1MAKQ “Jessie grabbed the black notebook and danced over toward his NASCAR bed. Sitting on the edge of his bed, he patted the mattress with his right hand several times motioning for Janie to join him. He opened his diary to his last entry: ‘Metacom put his head down on the witness stand. The Judge interjected: ‘The accused heathen will pay attention to these proceedings.’ The prosecutor approached the witness stand and hit Metacom across the face twice hard enough to turn both cheeks red. Metacom didn’t flinch. I yelled: ‘You can’t hit the witness!’ No one heard me. I repeated: ‘You can’t hit the witness. He doesn’t understand your words.’ No one heard me. No one faced me.’” ***** 5 of 5 stars Verified Purchase A Wonderful Blending of Historical Fact with Fiction The Haunting of The Hockomock Swamp is an intriguing and wholly engaging story about an Indian ghost haunting, a secret message within the horror and mystery, and a woman driven to uncover the mystery plaguing a group of young children.
