Looking For Spirits: Twenty Years of Ghost Hunting in Kansas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798176290806)

I started chasing this as a teenager in Pennsylvania, telling a ghost story in the woods above a Girl Scout camp and not knowing yet how much of it was true.

I work third shift. I play bass, badly. For twenty years I have spent my nights off in places where the temperature drops for no reason - a salt mine, a Masonic hall, an abandoned hospital, a hotel in Garden City, a little house in Atchison that television made famous.

I am not going to tell you every noise is a ghost. Most of them are not. I have talked myself out of more than I have kept.

But I will tell you about the ones I could not talk myself out of. A girl playing in a dead newspaperman's parlor. A voice in a tunnel that answers to Bubba. A man in a brick building who is still angry about 1978.

I am not asking you to believe me. I am telling you what happened.
