Online, April 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Marietta, Georgia resident Rhetta Akamatsu has authored a guide to that city's ghosts, Haunted Marietta, published by The History Press as part of their Haunted America series

Haunted Marietta combines Ms. Akamatsu's love of history and her skill as certified paranormal investigator to explore the nature of ghosts and to highlight the numerous spirits which inhabit this charming Georgia town, while also offering a glimpse into the town's non-paranormal past.

"There has been a great surge of interest in the paranormal lately," explains Mrs. Akamatsu, "and people are interested in looking at the subject in a more scientific and open-minded way. This book looks at the city I live in and love, which happens to have a very vivid history, both everyday and paranormal, that should be on interest to anyone who likes to learn about the past as well as those who love ghosts and ghost stories."
