From the crying-angel headstone at midnight to a headless horseman and a rocking chair that moves on its own, Shirley Bahlmann retells twenty-two 'true' tales of the unexplained gathered from Utah pioneer families. Some spirits come to comfort—a departed grandmother, an angel doctor, an Indian who repays a kindness—while others simply frighten. Blending faith, folklore, and heartache from the olden days, these short, first-person accounts are perfect for reading aloud on autumn nights or sharing across generations.

  • 'True' pioneer ghost stories documented from real Utah families—not made-up horror
  • Clean and faith-affirming: spooky without gore, language, or nightmares
  • Perfect autumn read-aloud that spans generations, from grandkids to grandparents
  • Local Utah legends: the Manti temple angel, the Ephraim headless horseman, the Clarion haunt

Perfect for a reader who loves Utah pioneer folklore and clean, faith-tinged ghost stories to share with family on autumn evenings.
