Ghosts and Indian Superstition

By Robert F. (Bob) Turpin

This book contains three stories: 1) The Ghost of Miles Faucett: Miles Faucett’s ghost prowled throughout the house, tapping on the headboard of the bed during the night, awakening the sleepers. It hammered on doors and rattled pots and pans for attention. Why? The reason was found in the dark cellar. 2) The Evil Spirit: Watkins body stood upright, his head mere inches below the lake’s surface. Instead of dying, he could have easily waded to shore and safety. What happened? The evil spirit, Cheeka, had claimed another victim. 3) Spirits and Lost Souls: The sounds you hear could be the wind or the eerie haunting wailings of wandering spirits and lost souls who have fallen into the death pit.

The Ghost of Miles Faucett

I know our home is haunted. We have not seen the ghost but we have heard it over and over. At night it will tap on the headboard of our bed and wake us up from a sound sleep. It stalks through the house and hammers on our bedroom door. When we open the door there’s no one there. But, there’s coolness in the air, even in the severe heat of the summer sun. It seems to enjoy the basement. It breaks jars and rattles things during the night.

Finally the annoyance became so bad that Mr. Brewer decided to try to do something about the ghost. He was not as acceptable as was his wife to the fact that there were ghosts.
