Elisabeth Busch is a multi-genre author who writes both fiction and nonfiction. Most recently, she has been busy working on her science fiction web serial, Children of Copernicus, which is now being published on Amazon in ebook and paperback. She has also written about baby names, true ghost stories, and the paranormal.
Her mother was a librarian and Elisabeth spent many hours in "the stacks" at the library reading her way through the available offerings, especially scifi, horror, historical dramas, and ghost stories. As a child in the 1980s, she dabbled in hobbies such as ghost hunting, dinosaurs, horror movies, writing, and researching name origins. This all came to a head after she watched the Alien films and chewed out her mother for not naming her Sigourney. Elisabeth was a weird kid.
In the early 1990s, Elisabeth discovered the internet and began maintaining the FAQ for a ghost stories USENET group. In 1993, she began archiving true ghost stories on an FTP server, and in 1994 set up the world's first (and now oldest) website focusing on ghosts and hauntings. The site, ghosts.org, has run continuously since then.
In 2022, she began publishing her life's work, the serial scifi drama Children of Copernicus, in weekly installments. Further information about CoC can be found at childrenofcopernicus.com.
Currently Elisabeth lives in Las Vegas with her family and a small army of very large cats.
Just like always, these stories range from silly to terrifying...but unexplainable just the same. I liked the older collections better, because they gave names of the storytellers and locations of the haunted side. 3 stars for that. Keep giving us New tales Please!
Another book in this series. There's a reference to an Ouija board and something going wrong which fits with many ot her accounts of the use of an Ouija board leading to problems.
The best stories in my opinion in this book are the Cookie Ghost, the Cult House and The Old Witch Blaney. The ot her stories are interesting but those were the best.
