This week I decided to go more local and searched the Valley City Times Record for a local story of interest. So what did I find? My name referenced in an article regarding ghosts. Go figure.
According to the article, Schiffer Publishing Company was looking for someone to research and write a book about ghosts in North Dakota. Lori Orser answered the ad because of her very personal experience with her “third roommate” while in college at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. She and her roommate claimed to see the same ghost doing the same things.
Orser has located other stories in North Dakota. One ghost identified in the article include The Grey Lady of Sims who “is supposedly the ghost of an early 20th Century minister’s wife in Sims (North Dakota) who haunts the rectory as a caretaker spirit.”
A second is “Sister Boniface was the founder of St. Alexus Hospital in Bismarck and has supposedly been seen walking the halls, making sure everything is all right.” Searching the internet for Sister Boniface is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack – there are plenty of them. Needless to say St. Alexus doesn’t put their roaming ghost stories up front on their web page so finding anything about their founder was tough but I did find a bit on her history with the Hospital.
Through her research Orser contacted Wes Anderson at the Historic Museum about any stories in Barnes county. Well of course there would be ghosts in those brick towers on campus!
That brings us to why my name is in the article. The newspaper article author, Steve Browne called someone on campus who sent him to someone, who sent him to another someone, who sent him to me saying I had been here many years and would probably know of stories. I tried not to give him anything he could use but he still did!!! A lesson in saying “no comment” for me.
Anyway, I have a couple children who believe there are spirits among us and have felt their presence. I am on the side of spirits or angels and don’t believe most are here to harm us but to watch over us. I have a sister and niece who say a spirit sat on their bed at a cabin in Minnesota. When my sister asked her daughter what it was she said just to go to sleep because it wasn’t there to harm them. Then my niece left the next day. Kids!?
So if you are inclined and want to know more, watch for Orser’s book coming to a B ‘n N near you.

I use to read ghost story books all the time when I was younger. Most of it when my family and I went camping on the weekends. It was the thing to do, read a ghost story around a campfire. Asking me if I believe in ghosts is similar to believing in aliens. Truth be told, I just do not know. And I do not think people are meant to know. And if they do then they know of supernatural realms for a reason in their life. I believe anything is possible. I have never had an actual encounter myself with anything, but maybe I just was not aware of it. I will have to check this book out. It sounds kind of neat! :)
