What became of the Amana man who returned from the grave for his nightly ration of beer? How does one explain the story of the young man's spirit returning to West Amana after his death? Does the feisty German Grandmother still haunt the house in High Amana? The stories continue to intrigue us. Some, no doubt, are simply the result of over-active imaginations and wishful thinking. But what about the story of the Kitchen Boss, the Ghost Corner, and the Hope Chest? Can all of them be dismissed as fiction? Those who read GHOSTS OF THE AMANA COLONIES may never look at these peaceful villages in the same way again.
