About the Author

John Bladek grew up in Washington, the state, not that other place with all the white buildings. When he was young he liked to listen to ghost stories on the radio and sneak into the basement on Friday nights to watch a scary TV show his mom didn’t approve of. He no longer hides under his pillow after visiting the haunted house down the road, but he still remembers those scary tales. Since then John earned a PhD in History, where all ghosts come from, loves to play trivia, and wonders why they don’t make hauntable houses anymore.
