  • Summary

  • America wasn't always the haunted nation we know and fear today. No, there was a time when this land's soul was pure as driven snow, Then the Europeans people came, and now we have ghosts. Thanks a lot, Europe.

    This is the story of Nelly Butler, the first ghost ever seen in America. Come for the ghost, stay for: 101 best cow jokes; the Stineverse; who remembers how to subtract?; probably conjunctivitis; January field stuff; Bell witch vibes; and some incredible metamorphosis that I should know about.
