Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy called me about two weeks after we helped them at the mine up on the hill. They had fourteen people killed in an explosion under their mine. That happen back in 1945, but it wasn’t a mine explosion. They killed 14 kids that worked in that mine and tried to make it look like it was an explosion. So we had to go back in there and try to find all of them, but without the help of Charlie, we never would have found them because Charlie came through the ground to get help after twenty years. Charlie was a ghost. So when Jimmy called me, it kind of surprised me because I hadn’t talked to him in a while, but he said they needed some help on this one. I said, “Help on what?” He said, “Looks like another place, they say they have ghost in it.” I said, “You have got to be kidding me. Where are these things coming from?” He said, “It looks like they are telling the others who helped them the last time, and so you got elected to come to them.” “Me? it’s your job to help those people. I don’t work in there anymore.” I asked him, “Has Hank got back from school yet?” He said, “Yes, and he can’t do anything with them. They are mean, very mean.” “And where are they at?” He said, “In West Virginia.” I asked him, “Are you going to be there this time with us? I do want Hank there.” Jimmy told me, “We can have anyone that I want to be there.” I ask him, “Can you get Charlie?” He said, “Now there are some things I can’t do. If I could bring him back from the dead, I would sure have him there helping you.” I said, “Yeah, I would to. When do you want me there?” “Tomorrow morning if you can get there.” “Okay, have my crew there, we might need them.”
Download or read book Ghosts Of The Coal Field written by Rebecca Solomon and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-22 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts of the Coal Field is Rebecca Solomon's fourth book of short ghost stories. Set in the coal mining region of western Kentucky, these tales are filled with plenty of shivers. Several of them are about old coal mines where strange happenings cause some people to shy away. Other folks are intrigued and determined to explore, to their misfortune. Could a coal mine be dug all the way to Satan's abode? Could a mine site be so cursed that it actually threatens the lives of the workers? Could rivalry and violence between workers lead to a years- long haunting? Not all the stories take place in coal mines; this area is home to all kinds of "haints." Among them was the lady who cherished her flowers so much she even tended them and didn't want to share so much as a cutting even after death. There is one about a young witch who is being sabotaged by a vindictive cohort. No matter your taste in ghosts, you'll find something in this volume to keep you awake at night.

Download or read book Coal Miners Wives written by Carol A. B. Giesen and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our only sin was not having what they thought was enough. And being forced to take what they called help." Pain and anger resonate deeply in the voice of New Covenant Bound's central narrator. Forced from her homeland on the Tennessee River in the 1930s, she recounts the memory of upheaval and destruction caused by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Western Kentucky area that now boasts beautiful, expansive bodies of water was once home to some 20,000 people, their houses, farms, townships and ancestral history. Residents were subjected to three waves of forced relocation to make way for Kentucky Lake in the 1930s, Lake Barkley in the 1950s, and Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area in the 1960s. Renowned poet T. Crunk intersperses narrative prose and vivid lyric verse to explore the devastation one family experienced in this often overlooked episode in Kentucky history. The voices of a grandmother and grandson speak to each other over time, evoking the relentless advance of irrevocable forces that changed the land, forever.
Download or read book Ghost Work written by Mary L. Gray and published by Eamon Dolan Books. This book was released on 2019 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A startling exposé of the invisible human workforce that powers the web--and how to bring it out of the shadows. Hidden beneath the surface of the internet, a new, stark reality is looming--one that cuts to the very heart of our endless debates about the impact of AI. Anthropologist Mary L. Gray and computer scientist Siddharth Suri unveil how the services we use from companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Uber can only function smoothly thanks to the judgment and experience of a vast human labor force that is kept deliberately concealed. The people who do 'ghost work' make the internet seem smart. They perform high-tech, on-demand piecework: flagging X-rated content, proofreading, transcribing audio, confirming identities, captioning video, and much more. The shameful truth is that no labor laws protect them or even acknowledge their existence. They often earn less than legal minimums for traditional work, they have no health benefits, and they can be fired at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all. An estimated 8 percent of Americans have worked in this 'ghost economy,' and that number is growing every day. In this unprecedented investigation, Gray and Suri make the case that robots will never completely eliminate 'ghost work' and the unchecked quest for artificial intelligence could spark catastrophic work conditions if not stopped in its tracks. Ultimately, they show how this essential type of work can create opportunity--rather than misery--for those who do it."--Dust jacket.
Download or read book Ghost Sign written by Al Ortolani and published by 39 West Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1920s and 1930s, Pittsburg, KS was a major coal-mining town, attracting various ethnic groups from southeast Europe and beyond. The often belligerent and divisive spirit of the miners--and the unpredictable politics of Southeast Kansas--earned the region the nickname, "The Little Balkans." The four poets (Al Ortolani, Melissa Fite Johnson, Adam Jameson, JT Knoll) appearing in this collection carry forward that same proud, independent spirit. They call themselves White Buffalo, after a now-defunct café in Pittsburg that offered writers, poets, artists, musicians, and friends a place of warmth and community, which in turn fostered an environment of challenge and diversity. Ghost Sign epitomizes honest work that is both lyrical and painful while simultaneously joyous and sad. It is rooted in folklore and mystery, and its place is informed by powerful imagery: sunlight on the crater of a strip pit, the shadow of an owl at Camp 50, junkyard mechanics, railroad men, and a grandfather at a piano plunking out Methodist hymns. With craft and passion, the Ghost Sign poets, who each know how to remember, resurrect those indomitable, lost places, folks, and ghosts from the forgotten past of Southeast Kansas. Published in partnership with Spartan Press.
