title: Paranormal Provincetown: Legends and Lore of the Outer Cape
author:  Sam Baltrusis 
description: <span>"So, now we ghost-ridden New Englanders get to visit another haunted hotspot - the Provincetown neighborhood where, no surprise, there are haunted mansions, inns and maritime sites galore. There's even a phantom train that whoo hoos through the night, heading only the spirits know where. Baltrusis divides his book into sections of commercial, crime, nightlife, overnight, secret and Truro haunts. The book itself is dedicated to the "Lady of the Dunes," an unidentified auburn-haired female whose body was found in 1976 and who now lies beneath a headstone in St. Peter's Cemetery - at least during the day."</span>

  Do I know why Tom Donahue is called "Lucky Tom"? Yes, I do; and that is more
  than one in ten of those who call him so can
  
  
  say. I have knocked about a deal in my time, and seen some strange sights, but
  none stranger than the way in which Tom gained that
  
  
  sobriquet, and his fortune with it. For I was with him at the time. Tell it?
  Oh, certainly; but it is a longish story and a very strange
  
  
  one; so fill up your glass again, and light another cigar, while I try to reel
  it off. Yes, a very strange one; beats some fairy stories I
