Spirits of pioneers who risked their lives in search of fortune still roam the old buildings in the Silver Valley. The ghosts of a young boy and teacher actively wander the halls of The Roosevelt Inn. A prisoner of war haunts the old fort where his torture and killing took place. Still waiting for her lover's return, an expectant spirit haunts her favorite room in the Jameson Hotel. The skeletons of unfortunate soldiers lie where Fatty Carrol buried their bodies so long ago, and the phantoms of restless miners still linger in abandoned mines. Author Deborah Cuyle reveals Coeur d'Alene and the greater Silver Valley's fascinating haunted history and the souls that refuse to leave.
