What She Speaks About
Flagstaff’s haunted history
The Weatherford, the Hotel Monte Vista, the depot, the public library: documented hauntings and the history underneath them, from the author of Haunted Flagstaff.
The Walkup case and 1937 Flagstaff
The tragedy the town spent decades trying to forget, told with care from records and contemporary reporting. The case she brought to Travel Channel’s The Dead Files (2022).
Wicked early Flagstaff
Saloons, swindlers, blue laws, and the red-light district: the decades before the mountain town learned to behave, from Wicked Flagstaff.
Researching local history
How a historian checks a ghost story against the record: archives, ledgers, newspapers, and the discipline of letting a good story go when the sources say no.
