Join haunted historian Stephanie Waters as she scours dark museum dungeons, public libraries, and dusty newspaper archives and shares 40 supernatural tales from the Rockies of the Old West. You'll read about a disembodied spirit who solves an ancient murder mystery and how the opera's phantom confesses her side of a famous ghost story. Consider mysterious lights floating over the Rockies and how early pioneers were abducted by ancient aliens. Take an adventure through a time warp tunnel and a trip on a terror train time machine. Meet an unflappable witness once kidnapped by a mysterious ape-like creature while camping on Bishop Mountain.
Waters writes her ghost stories in the same way she verbally tells her stories. She dares to recount the story as it was thought to have happened. This style makes the reader feel like they are present as the events unfold. This way, spooky tales are more fun.
When I read the book, it felt like each story could be about a place I was familiar with or lived. All the stories are about public places the reader can visit, including New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Idaho, and Bishop Mountain in the Canadian Rockies.
You'll be tempted to put the book down so you can go visit the Ghosts, Legends, and Lore of the Rockies.
