Halloween - the time of year when ghosts and goblins come out. To get in the mood of the season, here are two books written about spooky stories of Iowa that have been collected by the authors. These are very short stories; they can be read at a Halloween party in just a few minutes. They aren't really that scary, making them great for the entire family to hear while Mom or Dad reads them around a campfire on a dark, cold night.
Ghostly Tales of Northeast Iowa by Ruth D. Hein
(977.7 HEI)
I thought there would be some stories based in Waterloo or Cedar Falls, but there don't seem to be any. They are in Decorah, West Union, and other places. At least you won't get scared about some location you might frequently go by.
Ghosts of Johnson County, Iowa by Lori Erickson (cover not shown) (977.7655 ERI) Most of the stories are from the Iowa City area.
