Blue Ghost Mystery

Blue Ghost Mystery

Harold L. Goodwin

Rick Brant has never encountered anything like the blue ghost that haunts the abandoned Virginia mine. Locals claim it's the spirit of a Civil War soldier, shot dead while crossing enemy lines to see his sweetheart. The story says he still searches for her, glowing in the darkness, screaming in anguish. But Rick doesn't believe in ghosts. He believes in evidence. When his ex-Marine friend Scotty arrives, the two decide to investigate scientifically. What they find isn't a spirit at all, but something far more dangerous: men using the legend to hide their crimes. As Rick and Scotty dig deeper, they realize the ghost may be a warning, or a trap, or both. This 1957 adventure delivers exactly what young readers crave: a genuine mystery, historical texture, and two resourceful protagonists who outthink their adversaries. Perfect for readers who want their ghost stories with real teeth.
