Ghosts of Couer d'Alene & the Silver Valley

It’s finally October — a whole month devoted to spooky stories, festive Halloween decorations and the peak of fall’s colorful splendor. Kick off the month, then, with this fitting online event hosted by Auntie’s Bookstore, featuring Snohomish-based author Deborah Cuyle discussing some of the (supposedly) most-haunted locations in Coeur d’Alene and Idaho’s Silver Valley. Among these ghost-inhabited landmarks is the historic Roosevelt Hotel in Coeur d’Alene, which is said to be often visited by the ghost of a young boy. Across the Silver Valley’s mountainous landscape, the restless lost souls of former miners reportedly linger at the entrances of the area’s many long-abandoned mines. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Cuyle’s book touches on some fascinating local history about the pioneers who ventured westward seeking their fortunes.
