Ghosts of the Quad Cities

The History Press

Just in time for Halloween, two local men have published a book about the supernatural in this area, "Ghosts of the Quad Cities."  

Herb Trix reports. 

"Ghosts of the Quad Cities" is available through The History Press, a division of Arcadia Publishing based in Mount Pleasant South Carolina. 


You have several opportunities to meet the authors and find out more about local ghosts:

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
