Riassunto

Nineteen years ago, there were two babies. Only one came home.

Dorothy Wentzel was only supposed to photograph a little boy’s funeral. She shoots for the

Farmington Chronicle, a small-town weekly where most assignments are ribbon cuttings and prize

zucchini. But when her last wide shot rises out of the developer, there is something in the grass

beside her mother’s grave: a small, curled shadow, with nothing there to cast it.

It doesn’t move with the sun. The rain won’t wet it. The cemetery mower skips right over it. And

only her grandmother’s old film camera can see it.

Dorothy tells no one. She has spent her whole life trying not to be the girl people whisper about.

But every day the shadow is still there, waiting. Then, hidden beneath her late grandmother’s

mattress, she finds the journal Nanna kept secret for nineteen years. The first entry was written the

morning Dorothy was born, and it begins with four words: There were two babies.

Desperate for answers, Dorothy turns to Zofia Nowak, the paper’s elderly Polish horoscope writer,

who reads palms the way her grandmother did. What Zofia tells her is a legend Farmington’s oldest

families have whispered for generations. It concerns a bend in the Vermillion River below

Rambling River Park, where refugees from the Salem witch trials were hunted down in 1692. Their

bodies were buried without a prayer, under a curse that would not let the dead leave that ground.

The old warning still holds: never walk those woods at night. And whatever you hear, never look in

the water.

Now the fog is rising along the river. The shadows are walking among the trees. And something

beneath the surface is calling Dorothy’s name in her grandmother’s voice.

Shadow of the Ghost is a fast, eerie, slow-burn ghost story about family secrets, grief, and the

lengths love will go to bring someone home. It is set in the real town of Farmington, Minnesota,

and its Rambling River Park. Perfect for readers who love small-town hauntings, folklore horror,

and stories that stay with you long after the last page.

Includes an Author’s Note on the real places, people, and history behind the legend.

Look for the painted rocks. JR Macho has hidden painted rocks along the trails and riverbanks of

Rambling River Park. Find one, turn it over, and you’ll see his name on the back. Keep it, or hide it

again for the next reader to find.
