Ghosts of Old Wilmington (Paperback)

Ghosts of Old Wilmington
Ghosts of Old Wilmington (Paperback)
By John Hirchak

Review & Description

Rising from the banks of the Cape Fear River like a spectral stage, Wilmington remains one of America's most haunted cities. Its beautiful homes and tidal waterways belie a history of violence. Wilmington is a true theater of horror, the cast of which includes runaway slaves, dismembered soldiers, and fallen women of the night who linger in Paradise Alley. Wilmington's ghosts make the Cape Fear region worthy of its name.

Written with wit and style, author John Hirchak calls upon years of experience as the owner and lead guide for the `Ghost Walk of Old Wilmington' to lead his readers on a journey down back alleys and docksides, stopping at various points along the way to listen to the lingering whispers of generations long-dead.

Hirchak's experience adds a refreshingly unique twist to his writing. Through his words, readers will not only feel the hairs rising on their necks, but can also enjoy a laugh as Hirchak reveals some comical reactions many of his guests have had. A wonderful mix of humor and horror, Ghosts of Old Wilmington will delight any reader with an interest in Wilmington's unsavory past. Read more

Review & Description

About the Book and its Author

“Hassan! Don’t tune into Berlin when we’ve got guests! The moment war breaks out you’ll come under suspicion as a spy for Germany. We should all be interned.”

“I am not a spy for anybody.”

It is 1938. The world is heading towards the Munich crisis and World War II. Hassan, who had obtained his medical degree in Germany, goes home to Egypt. His wife Jeanne and his five and two-year-old sons, Yasseen and Yazeed, remain in Jamaica, a British colony at the time.

Emigrating Home is a memoir told in fiction form. It follows Yasseen through his childhood and teenage years to an unforeseen predicament that changes the course of his life.

As he is about to set off for school in England, his eccentric Great Aunt Consuela suggests that he is going in search of his father. Yasseen reminds her he is going to England not Egypt. She adds, “One day you’ll go to Egypt. I know. A man needs his father.”

This prediction comes true when Egypt and Britain come into conflict in the 1950s. Yasseen finds himself in a dilemma. He is called up for service in both the British and Egyptian armies.

He cannot think of himself as the enemy of either country. “What do you think I should do now?” he asks a friend. “Buy myself a couple of pistols — one for Egypt and one for Britain — and shoot myself through each ear?”

On his father’s invitation and the advice of a friend, he visits Egypt. There, for a time, things seem to spin out of control because, while he speaks no Arabic, he looks like a native and nobody takes him for a tourist. His father doesn’t want him to leave. “You can go home anytime,” his father says banteringly. “But where is home?”

Eventually Yasseen feels accepted and stays.About the Book and its Author
