Ghostly Tales of Iowa (Hauntings, Horrors & Scary Ghost Stories)

Ruth D. Hein grew up in Van Horne, Iowa, as the middle child in a ghost-free Lutheran parsonage. With an M.A. from the University of Northern Iowa, she taught high school English and creative writing for 28 years, 21 of those in Decorah. Ruth later moved with her husband, Ken, to a small acreage near Worthington, Minnesota. There, she collected ghost stories and wrote the historical column for the Worthington Daily Globe for 14 years.

Vicky L. Hinsenbrock's German relatives loved to tell stories of the unexpected happenings when she was growing up in northeast Iowa. A graduate of Iowa State University with a major in animal science, she works for the USDA. She and her husband live in an old Victorian house in the country. No known ghosts inhabit their home.
