A Ghostly Legend and a Frightened Me

by Julia Buckley Do you believe in ghosts? Most of the time, I don't.  I've met people who say they've seen one; I have students and colleagues who say they live with one (old Chicago houses are legendary for their ghosts). But, like any skeptic, I always figure that if they existed, we would all see them, and frequently. So in general I tend to take ghost stories with a grain of salt.
