Stage coach ghosts in Wisconsin
Submitted by Liz Snow, who lives in Salmon Creek: The year was 2001. I had just married my husband and moved into his home in rural Wisconsin. After settling in, I started being awakened by ghosts. I would suddenly wake up in the middle of my slumber and see a ghostly figure standing in the […]
Ghosts of a tragedy
Terry Covington, Salmon Creek My ex-husband does not believe in ghosts, but he also is sure that he saw one. We lived in a rented house in Moscow, Idaho. It was a little run down, but was on a nice street and close enough to Washington State University, where he was teaching ROTC. Very early […]
The woman in white
Jack Miller, The Dalles, Ore. I used to work as a closer in a Bend restaurant. I was hired when the previous guy locked up and didn’t return for his next shift. I started seeing weird things, but I just figured it was imagination working alone late at night. The guy showed up two weeks […]
Protecting ghost boy

The farmer’s ghost
Judith Gmerek Jernigan, Hazel Dell In Arizona, I used to live in what appeared to be an old farmhouse. It really stood out, surrounded by homes built in the ’60s and ’70s on a residential street in a small town. There were no records revealing where or when it was built, only that it had […]
Beware of the Ouija
Anita Kalbfleisch, Salmon Creek I lived in Reno in an apartment next door to a funeral parlor in 1991. Several friends and I would sit at night and play with a Ouija board, which we thought was just was a fun game, not real. Then weird things started to happen. My daughter, who was 5 […]
A hearse out of time
Becky Winsor, Yacolt Picture it. Germany, 1964. The medieval, walled town of Kleinsteinbach, complete with a small medieval castle on the hill just inside the walls. We were a military family living in Germany. We paid my way over there the previous year, as it was during the Berlin crisis, and the military wasn’t taking […]
