About the author
Nancy K. Williams writes local history focused on reputedly haunted sites in Colorado, publishing with History Press. "Haunted Hotels of Northern Colorado" (2015) surveys ghost stories attached to historic hotels in the region, including tales of the Earl of Dunraven at the Stanley Hotel and other spectral figures said to linger in the Brook Forest Inn and elsewhere. "Haunted Hotels of Southern Colorado" (2019) extends the same approach south, recounting the darker histories, dramatic deaths, and reported hauntings tied to hotels built during the state's mining and silver boom era. Both books blend regional history with ghost-story tradition, using documented local events, deaths, scandals, and colorful historical figures, as the basis for the hauntings they describe. Williams's work is best suited to readers interested in Colorado history and legend-driven travel writing rather than in paranormal investigation or instruction.
