nHaunted Hoaxes of the Hoosier State n n n nIn the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, newspapers were a major source of ghost stories. Paranormal experiences, no matter how mundane, were newsworthy and entertaining--even when they turned out not to be ghosts after all. A coffin holding a talking corpse on a train turned out to be a box of bullfrogs. An overturned automobile carrying white paint resulted in a paint-covered ghost wandering the streets and a spiritualist tackled a phantom haunting a cemetery only to find that it was a fraternity pledge all along. n nRevealing that the truth can sometimes be as amusing as the legend, author Ashley M. Watson gathers newspaper clippings about Indiana ghost stories that were not ghosts at all.n
