About the author
Stephanie Waters writes regional ghost-story and local-history books centered on the American West. Her titles include Ghosts, Legends, and Lore of the Rockies (Schiffer Publishing, 2018), which gathers around forty tales stretching from southern New Mexico to southern Canada, and Haunted Manitou Springs (History Press, 2011), focused on the Colorado town's springs and its recurring Emma Crawford legend. She describes herself as a haunted historian, working from museum archives and old newspapers to compile supernatural accounts tied to specific places rather than general occult theory. The books are aimed at readers interested in local folklore, ghost tourism, and regional history, blending documented town histories with the legends that have grown up around them. Her focus stays on storytelling and place rather than instructional or practice-based content.
