A Haunted History of Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids history is crowded with departed souls who refuse to rest in peace.
The twisted spirit of Lolita, a mother who committed unspeakable acts upon her children, stalks the block where she grew up. In life, Frank Hibben Stout's obsession with his "sister" led to a tragic end for both. In death, his blood-dripping apparition is seen where a local restaurant now stands. The protective spirit of Edythe first appeared after a fateful Ouija board game at a local church, and the Children's Museum is haunted by the friendly spirit of a boy seen by the young and old alike.
Come walk with the dead as author Julie Rathsack weaves together the threads of the forgotten past with the spirits who have remained behind.

Great balance of history and spookiness. Only wish it were longer.
