In "Ghosts of the Bluegrass," James McCormick and Macy Wyatt
present stories of Kentucky ghosts past and present. Some of the
tales are set in rural areas, but many take place in urban areas
such as the haunted house on Broadway in downtown Lexington and in
buildings on the University of Kentucky campus, where Adolph Rupp
is said to have conversed with the deceased biology professor Dr.
Funkhouser. This volume contains chapters on haunted places,
poltergeists, communication with the dead, and ghosts who linger to
resolve unfinished business from their past lives, as well as a
chapter about ghosts who reveal themselves through lights, changes
in temperature, or sound. The book even features a chilling account
by a nineteenth-century family haunted in their Breckinridge County
home. Whether witnesses believe that a spirit has come to protect
those it left behind or to complete an unfinished task, ghostly
appearances remain a mystery. As McCormick and Wyatt point out,
there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to the
supernatural. One thing is certain: these tales will bring pleasure
and perhaps a goose bump or two to the reader interested in ghost
stories and folklore in the Kentucky tradition.
