Indiana's False Hauntings: Stories of Pranks, Fakes and Supernatural Mistakes
Indiana's False Hauntings: Stories of Pranks, Fakes and Supernatural Mistakes
Haunted Hoaxes of the Hoosier State
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, newspapers were a major source of ghost stories. Paranormal experiences, no matter how mundane, were newsworthy and entertaining--even when they turned out not to be ghosts after all. A coffin holding a "talking corpse" on a train turned out to be a box of bullfrogs. An overturned automobile carrying white paint resulted in a paint-covered "ghost" wandering the streets and a spiritualist tackled a phantom haunting a cemetery only to find that it was a fraternity pledge all along.
Revealing that the truth can sometimes be as amusing as the legend, author Ashley M. Watson gathers newspaper clippings about Indiana ghost stories that were not ghosts at all.
