Today I started reading "The Telltale Lilac Bush: And Other West Virginia Ghost Tales" by
Ruth Ann Musick. I was looking for folklore or stories similar th the ones that my grandmother told me over 50 years ago. I found one that was very similar but with a few differences, as you could expect with differences between the tellers. Does anyone have any other potential references for West Virginia folklore? #folklore #WestVirginia #familyhistories

I am looking for methods / approaches for linking #familyhistories to broader #socialhistories. Any suggestions @histodons
