Ghosthunting North Carolina

“The charming and delightful Kala Ambrose has invited me on her radio program Explore Your Spirit with Kala many times, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed myself. In the pages of her fascinating new book Ghosthunting North Carolina, she has invited all of us to join her on a haunted road trip through North Carolina, and once again, I found myself completely enjoying the journey. Kala received the “gift” of paranormal talents, including the ability to see and sense spirits, when she was only a child. She generously shares this gift with her readers as she explores a remarkable number of haunted houses and places in North Carolina. I very much appreciated Kala’s sharing the history of some of these very famous locations, as well as her psychic impressions of certain ethereal residents who have never left their beloved homes. Kala allows us to perceive her insights into a wide range of ghostly entities from the frightening to the benign, from the violent to the gentle. I highly recommend this book.” —Brad Steiger, author of over 170 books, including Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places.

“Not everyone can write a ghost story. Luckily for us, Kala Ambrose can. In Ghosthunting North Carolina, Kala takes us on a fabulous armchair road-trip featuring pirates, flaming ghost ships, haunted hotels, and spirits of every persuasion, including the friendly, the eerie, and the downright scary. Kala also provides clear, concise, user-friendly instructions on how to transform a virtual trip into an actual one. I, for one, was ready to start driving to and through North Carolina as soon as I finished Ghosthunting North Carolina. I suspect you will be, too.” –Judika Illes, author of The Encyclopedia of Spirits, The Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells, and The Weiser Field Guide to Witches.

“A road trip with a difference! Kala Ambrose explores the spectacular beauty of the Tar Heel State while using her psychic skills to seek beneath the surface for the phantom soldiers, pink ladies and lost spirits who still inhabit the houses or wander the roads of this beautiful landscape. A skilful mix of lore and legend, which will linger on in the reader’s mind long after the book has been closed. “ — Dr. Bob Curran, author of Dark Fairies, Vampires: A Field Guide to the Creatures that Stalk the Night, Lost Lands, Forgotten Realms and over 24 additional books on paranormal lore.

“If you’re into all-things-spooky, spectral and spine-tingling, then Kala Ambrose’s Ghosthunting North Carolina is the book for you! Best devoured on the proverbial dark and stormy night!” –Nick Redfern, author of The Real Men in Black.

"I’m actually starting to plan a NC vacation based on this book! It might take a year of planning, but I can think of no better way to spend a few weeks than scoping out some of the wonderfully spooky places that are mentioned in this book!" -- Mrs. B.

About Spirits of New Orleans:

Kala's Auracle ReadingsJoin Kala Ambrose, a powerful intuitive and your travel guide the other side, as she takes you back to her roots to discover the Spirits of New Orleans. The energy of this city is so potent and powerful, that it places a hold on each person who enters this ancient land claiming you as part of its own. As an intuitive child born in Louisiana, Kala Ambrose grew up exposed to a rich variety of cultures and influences. Her soul flourished along the running waters of the Mississippi Delta and the Gulf Coast. The city that had the strongest influence on Kala was New Orleans, the port city known for its bohemian lifestyle embracing art, music and spirituality. The city of New Orleans is formed into the shape of a crescent, which is believed by many people to form a sacred chalice which holds and stores energy making it one of the most unique areas in the world in which to perform magic and to see it magnify due to the energy in the land and from the flowing waters of the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico.

This unique, eclectic mixture spills over into the people and their history creating amongst other things, some of the most soulful music the world has ever seen. New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz, is so powerful that whenever music is playing, people stop whatever they’re doing to dance to the rhythm reaching deep within their soul. The energy of this land is so potent, so powerful, that it places a hold on each person who enters this ancient land claiming you as part of its own. This may in part explain why the city of New Orleans is full of magical energy and why it is so haunted with ghosts and spirits much older than its current residents.

During this journey, Kala explores the haunted history of the city and searches for those who decided to make New Orleans their eternal home as a resting place for some and a point of revenge for others.

Prepare to embark on an enticing journey into the haunted history, paranormal activities, magical ceremonies and supernatural rituals and practices in order to fully understand and embrace the cultural significance of the variety of beliefs, superstitions, legends and lore.

Visit the resting place of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in St. Louis Cemetery #1, have a drink at some of the most haunted bars in the city and spend the night in your choice of haunted hotels. With Kala as your guide, you’ll tread carefully through haunted Pirates Alley and down the streets of the French Quarter where ghosts, vampires and other supernatural beings lurk around every corner.

Explore Spirits of New Orleans: Voodoo Curses, Vampire Legends and Cities of the Dead with Kala Ambrose and prepare to be supernaturally and eternally charmed by the city of New Orleans.

Spirits of New Orleans

Praise for Spirits of New Orleans:

"Let Kala Ambrose be your tour guide to the ghosts, spirits, and revenants of New Orleans. As someone who has read virtually every book about hauntings in my beloved Crescent City, I can attest that Spirits of New Orleans by Kala Ambrose ranks among the best. What so distinguishes Spirits of New Orleans from the rest of the contenders is the respect with which Ambrose treats spiritual topics—something that is indeed rare. She writes about New Orleans with love, offering practical travel advice, alongside chilling tales of ghosts and vampires. Ambrose’s writing is evocative and her eye for truth is sharp: just read her chapter on Madame LaLaurie. Highly recommended!" --- Judika Illes, author of The Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells; The Encyclopedia of Spirits; and the Encyclopedia of Mystics, Saints, and Sages.

"New Orleans, a city with an almost palpable mystique of the supernatural, the unknown, the unexplained. A city of Voodoo, Zombis, haunted mansions, vampires, and moldering crypts. Imagine visiting this iconic city with a trusted guide who can not only inform about the extensive ethereal population of ghosts earthbound in their old haunts, but one who can actually speak to the spirits themselves and relay their fascinating stories. In Spirits of New Orleans: Voodoo Curses, Vampire Legends and Cities of the Dead, spiritual teacher, priestess, and oracle Kala Ambrose has written a fascinating book that is bound to become a paranormal classic." - Brad Steiger, author, Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places.

"Kala Ambrose's Spirits of New Orleans shows us how New Orleans is a magical city filled with hidden spiritual secrets - it is a practical, entertaining, and expert guide to its other side." - Bradford P. Keeney, Ph.D. & Hillary Keeney, Ph.D., authors, professors, and internationally renowned spiritual teachers. The Mojo Doctors, New Orleans

"Once again, Kala Ambrose delivers the supernatural goods and takes us on a wild ride as we discover the truth about the paranormal entities of one of the nation's most mysterious of all places: New Orleans." - Nick Redfern, author, Monster Diary.

"Ambrose takes hold of readers from the first page, blending history and legend together seamlessly as she leads them through the plentiful spiritual landscape that is New Orleans. If you only read one book about the supernatural this fall, make it this one." - Chic Darling

"I found it to be nearly impossible to pull myself away from reading Spirits of New Orleans, as it introduced me to an unknown local history and folklore. The tips within the book were detailed and are curious enough for me to consider visiting the places mentioned in the book when I have the time to spare. Spirits, undoubtedly, was put together in order to serve as a comprehensive guide to New Orleans' transcendental nature. A highly recommend addition to any book collection. " - AIDY reviews

"From the moment I picked up Kala Ambrose’s Sprits of New Orleans I couldn’t put it down. Not just because it’s a well written book of spooky stories from the Big Easy, (which it is) but because it’s also an extremely practical tourist’s guide to navigating the places where they occurred. Complete, of course, with all the juicy history behind them and the author’s first hand (aka psychic) experience of them. And that’s what makes this book a must read. With a writing style that is as engaging as her stories are compelling, Kala not only introduces you to places in this mystical city that you never knew existed, she brings you up close and personal to the intensely occult side of it that most of us never believed could. But then, as a native of Louisiana herself, what better guide could anyone have to the spiritual underbelly of New Orleans than the one written by this extremely talented spiritual intuitive. Buy this book and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Besides, when you find yourself on a plane for New Orleans in the very near future (and, believe me, you will) you’ll be glad you did." - Marguerite Manning, Bestselling author, Cosmic Karma, Understanding Your Contract with the Universe and Sign Language, Decoding Your Contract with the Universe

"Spirits of New Orleans is a delightful read. Chock full of fascinating stories and information about New Orleans and its history, this is a must have book for anyone drawn to the romantic, fascinating culture of that city. Kala Ambrose shows herself to be a wonderfully imaginative writer in the best southern style. The book reads as if it were a friendly conversation. Kala Ambrose knows New Orleans like the palm of her hand, and she clearly loves the city for all of its uniqueness. The book makes the reader want to visit the place and explore everything that that she talks so engagingly about. The city as seen through the eyes of Ambrose offers a rich experience of old stories and legends, and tips on some fascinating places to go. The city with all of its spirits just comes to life in this book. With work like this coming from the pen of Kala Ambrose, it is clear that we have a wonderful writer in our midst."
- Raphael Simons, International best selling author and astrologist

"Kala, thank you for such an fun and entertaining book! If I ever make it to New Orleans (as I have planned in my life sometime, I want to look you up and have you be my real life tour guide. As a paranormal investigator, I found this book to be a great guide in and around the dark sides of New Orleans. This book is filled with so much; ghosts, death, and voodoo. it was a great road map of solid information for someone who's into taking dark tours or investigates the unknown. The book is well written. This is saying A LOT; a huge plus for someone who has read a ton of paranormal based guides. The grammar, spelling and outline of the stories had an easy to follow flow to them. Kala is articulate and portrays that in the way she's composed this book. I enjoyed the fact that she puts a personal take on some of the stories, leaves it more personable over dry textbook style as other paranormal road map books have been. If you're into the paranormal, ghost hunting, historical events or spooky ghost stories read this book!

Kala's Rowan Society

The Rowan SocietyKala Ambrose is the Director of the Rowan Society. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about The Rowan Society (TRS) and what they research.

Myth and Folklore About the Rowan Tree

According to legends, the Rowan Tree’s mythic roots go back to ancient times. It is said that the Rowan tree increases psychic abilities and communication with the spirit realms as well as assisting with discernment in understanding which spirits mean well and which are threatening. It was also valued as a protection against enchantment, unwanted influences and evil spirits. The Rowan Tree is reportedly associated with protection, healing, courage and psychic powers.

In Norse mythology, the Rowan is reported to have saved the life of the god Thor by bending over a fast flowing river in the Underworld and helping him back to the shore. In addition, Rowan sticks were used to carved runes. In the ogham letters, Rowan is a derivitive from the second letter, luis. It means a quickening of energy which drops the veils between the planes.

Greek mythology tells of how a godess was feeding the gods ambrosia from her chalice. When the chalice was stolen by demons, the gods sent a magic eagle to retrive the cup. The eagle was injured in the fight and lost some feathers and blood which dripped down to the earth where they turned into Rowan trees. It is said this is how the shape of the rowan leaves and berries were created.

Rowan TreeIn Celtic lore, the Druids were said to light fires made of Rowan wood to chant incantations which summoned spirits to help in rituals. In addition, the Druids made special beds with the wood, which upon sleeping on them, led them into psychic trances. The physical characteristics of the tree (the tiny five pointed star on each berry opposite its stalk) led to its reputation of being an instrument of protection, along with the color red which in Celtic time was deemed to be the best color to ward against dark enchantments. In addition, the white flowers which bloom from the tree represent the goddess energy. To this day, in some regions, a Rowan tree growing on a property will not be removed, so strong is the belief of its ability to protect people and the property on which it grows.

TRS has adopted the Rowan Tree as its symbol. It is our hope that the Rowan Tree will share its protective and intuitive qualities with us, as we journey to understand more about the spirit realms.
