Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Kenneth W. Harmon, author of Ghost Under Foot. In August of 2007, my family discovered we had a ghost living with us. I launched an investigation and, within a few months, captured the spirit in photographs and on video. We learned to communicate with the spirit telepathically, and she responded to our requests to appear in “human form” by absorbing energy in order to manifest as a full-body apparition. With the help of Pat Walker from the Fort Collins Museum, I was able to identify the spirit as Mary Bell Wilson, who died from typhoid fever in 1886.
