About the author

Stephen Osborne writes regional ghost-story collections published by Schiffer Publishing, focused on the American Midwest. South Bend Ghosts & Other Northern Indiana Haunts (2009) gathers local legends including the ghost said to haunt Notre Dame's football grounds, tied to George Gipp, and stories connected to the murderer Belle Gunness's LaPorte farmhouse. Ghosts of Northern Illinois extends the same approach to cities and towns including Chicago, Rockford, DeKalb, Dixon, and Byron, collecting tales tied to specific local histories and unsolved crimes. Both books work as place-based compilations of folklore and ghost stories rather than instructional or theoretical texts, aimed at readers interested in regional history and haunted-place tourism in the Midwest.
