Description
What less likely setting for ghosts than the American heartland? Golden wheat fields, azure skies, cool northern woods, wood-lined winding rivers, the breadbasket of the world.
And yet deeds dark indeed have happened in this sunny region, and here-as in other places-people have experienced the unexplainable. While we ponder how such things happen, we might remember that it's the unexpected that sends ghostly chills up and down spines.
So prepare to enjoy this delightful medley of ghost stories set in the American Midwest.
