Wyoming Ghost Stories

by Debra D. Munn

Scares and frights and mysteries! Haunted houses! Eerie voices! The walking dead!

Here are the ghosts of Wyoming, the strange but true tales of unnerving sights and sounds that have never been explained. Footsteps when no one is there. Things that move that shouldn’t move. Spectral bedside visitors and ghastly ghoulish sights.

These stories span the state wherever ghosts ramble and roam. There are stories from Cheyenne, Sheridan, Cody, Laramie, Casper, Rawlings, Green River, and lots of places in between. The subjects are star-crossed lovers, murderers and the murdered, miners and cowboys and Native Americans, all carefully researched and authenticated by interviews with the people who have witnessed the unknown and unexplained.

So find a comfortable chair and settle in for an entertaining read about the Cowboy State’s ghosts…and is that a ghostly wail you hear or just the Wyoming wind?

Very disappointing, the stories were very generic and did not flow. And it was almost as if it wasn't edited at all, there were mistakes throughout. If someone wanted to read a really good collection of true stories and legends try Haunted Texas. Much better read.

I love these spooky little stories with my favorites being about the restaurant and the high school. A must read if you are from Wyoming.

My cousin bought a copy of this at Fort Bridger and we made our way back to the Eastern border while reading it outloud to eachother. We wound up reading about how haunted Fort Laramie was while driving through Fort Laramie at midnight. 😂😂😂
I picked this up on the used book circuit almost a year later because I thought "Might actually like to finish that...🤔" and I'm glad I did. This'll probably be part of my permanent non-fiction collection.
I think the low level anxiety that comes from reading ghost stories evened out my election anxiety. So that's a thing we know now! Self medicate with MORE FEAR! :D
The author had kind of a funky voice that nearly made me give it 4 stars. Munn is really good at suspense and surprise, but the way she gives important details is kind of garbled. Still! It's like being told stories from your spooky gramma while she sits up with you. Pretty great!
Anyway, this book is good and deserves more hype. I will definitely be recycling these for campfires.

I thought each chapter was going to be a ghost story from each location but I was just disappointed in it.

I was so happy to receive this book. It was a present from a dear friend who had visited the area. I had already read one book by Munn and was happy to get another. Then I started reading. The first couple sounded very familiar. Okay, a couple of repeats. Kept reading. Then I realized they were all just like the other book I had read Ghosts on the Range: Eerie True Tales of Wyoming. It had been released again under another title. That was a big disappointment. BUT that being said, I did like the stories in the book. I think my favorite is the one that involves the Exolite Corporation. This book is good for a Halloween read or whenever you want a story to send some chills up your spine.

I read many of the stories, up to page 131, but I have realized, while the tales are interesting, and a bit spooky -- they would be better enjoyed by people who know these places. So, with that in mind, I am doing a semi-controlled release of this book, and mailing it to one of the haunted places mentioned in the book, Ferris Mansion is now a Bed & Breakfast, and so I am hoping that by mailing it to them, perhaps this book can find its way into someone's hands who has some first hand knowledge of the locations!

[Rebecca Hill]

This was an interesting collection of stories, although some of them I think were pretty much in the mind of those wanting to think it was something else. I dont believe in ghosts myself, but I enjoy a good ghost story once in a while.

[Helen Pugsley]

While I love Munn and these stories they recycled several from a previous book.

Five stars if you haven't read her other work
Three because I have and I feel guilty skipping chapters.

Edit: I found out this was an older publication and the one I read first was the copy. My bad.

The absolute best book about ghosts in Wyoming there ever was. I first read this in elementary school and have read it several times since.
