"This expanded, updated, and revised edition of A Guide to the Ghosts of Lincoln takes you on a tour of the known and the obscure sites in Lincoln, Nebraska, where on a dark and silent evening you might feel a slight chill in the air, hear the faint calling of a lost soul, or see the ghostly shape of a spirit fade into blackness. Since its original publication, hundreds of people have submitted stories about the haunted places of eastern Nebraska. The best of those stories have been added to this new edition along with updated versions of all the old, classic stories. A book for both the easily frightened and the hardened skeptic, A Guide to the Ghosts of Lincoln is guaranteed to send shivers of fear down any spine. Alan Boye includes the famous story of the apparition at the C. C. White Building, as well as those of the Capitol Building ghost, the haunting of the university's Temple Theater, and the woman at Antelope Park. The new stories introduce readers to the details of Lincoln's haunted bike path, the mysterious story of Captain Jack, the fervent face in the window of a church, and the chilling girl on the other side of the mirror in the locker room of a local high school.

This is fun of you're a local. It does omit that some of them couldn't possibly be true - I looked up the supposed deaths at the capitol building since they would most likely be recorded somewhere in history, and found that there were no deaths at the capitol. (That article did point out that the building has a negative pressure issue, which can cause doors to open/shut and papers to move occasionally, which I thought was incredibly interesting.)
No mention of the horse ghosts at one of the movie theaters - I forget the details, I think that theater is gone now. But a lot of stories I hadn't heard, and an obligatory take on Bloody Mary.
