Ghostology: Ghosts of the Former Idaho Territory: Tales from a Decade of Paranormal Investigation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578720852)

March 3, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln signed an act of congress creating the Idaho Territory which encompassed the modern states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Life was not easy though in the newly formed territory. Lawlessness, crime, and hostilities with the area's Native Americans were common, but this did not stop thousands of people from many places, cultures, and ethnicities migrating to the Idaho Territory. Most were looking for riches in the mining industries of the time, others followed the expansion of the railroads, and some were searching for place to call home. What every migrant discovered were the rugged landscape of the desert west and the unforgiving heights of the Rocky Mountains. Violence, disease, and death were frequently found in the territory. The dangers of the 1800s and early 1900s were harsh in the Idaho Territory. Stories of accidents, illnesses, and murders seem to fill its early cemeteries. From mining disasters, smallpox epidemics, homicidal bandits, and vigilante mobs there were many ways territorial residents could die any given day. It should be no surprise that the ghost towns, railways, and scenic landscapes of the former Idaho Territory are rumored to be haunted. The spirits of the former residents don't seem to want to forgotten. Scott V. Brian, paranormal investigator and trained archaeologist has spent over a decade researching and investigating some of the most haunted places in the former Idaho Territory. He is excited to continue telling his most terrifying findings in Ghostology: Tales from a Decade of Paranormal Investigation, Volume Two.
