"By April Nigh
Between 1841 and 1869, nearly 300,000 emigrants traveled the 2,300 km-long Oregon Trail, seeking a better life in America's Pacific Northwest. One in 10 people never made it. Cholera was a common culprit, and a particularly insidious outbreak occurred near the North Platte River in what is today western Nebraska. My cousin Pam lives right on this stretch. She is over a mile away from her closest neighbor, yet frequently sees strangely dressed people both in and outside of her home.
Last summer, when I was visiting the area, my eccentric second cousin was also in town, up from New Mexico with some pals. Among PA's (Psychic Auntie) many talents is an ability to see and communicate with individuals who just so happen to be dead. PA and company were going to Pam's house for a "ghost hunt," and they invited me to join. Though dubious, I couldn't refuse."

Householder Julie Knight, 53, returned to her home in the quiet village of Coxley at 4.15pm to find the macabre scene, which has mystified experts.
