Halloween Short Story: Faces at the Window
Episode 14
Monday, 31 October, 2022

Happy Halloween! In this episode, I'm sharing one of my favorite short ghost story called "Faces at the Window" by Rose Wilder Lane. It is based, in part, on the true story of the Bloody Benders, who murdered lodgers at their residence in the 1800s. Lane is the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the Little House on the Prairie book series. Lane did not publish this story before her death in 1968; it was released posthumously in 1972.
