About the author
John Brian's catalogue entry, published in two editions by History Press in 2013, is Ghosts of Pocatello: Haunted History from the Gate City. The book traces the history of Pocatello, Idaho, from its Native American origins through the gold rush era of the 1860s, using this history as the backdrop for accounts of reported hauntings tied to specific local figures and sites. Like other regional titles in the History Press ghost-history line, it blends local history with collected ghost stories rather than offering general commentary on the paranormal, aimed at readers interested in Idaho and Pocatello's local history and folklore specifically. No further biographical information about the author is available beyond his authorship of this title in its two printings.
