Hubert Clair Bishop – AKA Miss Bish. Nebraska State Historical Society<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but I sure know a story when I see it.<\/p>\n

I enjoy spending time during the winter hiking at Fort Robinson State Park. There’s no one there and there’s a peaceful aspect to the area for me during that time. The fort has many ghost stories. Everyone who works there has a story to tell. I spent time with a few folks to get the stories and hear the tales.<\/p>\n

You can read the Ghosts of Fort Robinson<\/a> over at Wyobraska Magazine.<\/p>\n

I also wrote a story about the ghost at the Midwest Theater<\/a> in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. There are reportedly three ghosts, but only one has been “identified.” Miss Bish, pictured above, has a fascinating story even before she died and took up residence at the theater. Several years ago, I spent a few months researching her life story and wrote an article for the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. I’m hoping to revisit the story in the future and maybe flesh out some more details.<\/p>\n

My colleagues are also working on their own ghost stories for the holiday. Just check out Wyobraska Magazine’s front page<\/a> to find them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
