Join paranormal investigator Richard Estep on his fifteen-year journey to reveal and document the interwoven, ghoulish tales of this colorful Colorado city. Includes photos! “Although ghost sightings through the centuries have been largely disregarded by the mainstream as imaginary, the stories have persisted. Estep wants to know why. . . . His Longmont book features 20 different haunted properties in Longmont, just a handful of the many he says he has experienced firsthand.” —Daily Camera
