About the author
Beth Cooper writes regional ghost-story collections, represented here by "Ghosts of Kansas", published by Schiffer Publishing, and "Wichita Haunts". Both books gather local hauntings tied to named, visitable places: a state capitol librarian, a Holton House spirit captured on a thermal camera, a shadowman at Cowtown, and a friendly ghost called Belle on Hillside Street. The approach is anecdotal and site-specific rather than theoretical, closer to a folklore guidebook than a study of the paranormal, drawing on local history, reported sightings, and interviews rather than spiritualist doctrine. Readers who enjoy regional ghost lore, local history with a supernatural angle, or guides to reputedly haunted places in Kansas are the natural audience for these books.
