Download or read book Haunted Hillyard written by Chet Caskey and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First platted as separate city four miles from downtown Spokane in 1892, from it's earliest settlement Hillyard has been darkly controversial, fiercely independent- and sometimes violent. With a terrible Native American legacy, the area once known as "Wild Horse Plain" eventually became a railroad town in the shadow of the Great Northern Railway's East Spokane manufacturing, fueling and repair facility- very mush with the ire and prophetic curse of railway founder James J. Hill. Prohibition in Washington (1914-1933) transformed Hillyard into a dark area of illegal bars, houses of prostitution, murder and intrigue. On June 22, 1902 and December 18, 1915 railroad and streetcar disasters originating in Hillyard killed many people. During WWII and following, the Alcoa Aluminium Plant in Hillyard (later owned by Kaiser Aluminium) created devasting (and perhaps permanent) ground water pollution in the Hillyard area, as did the century of diesel fuel and oil spills in the Great Northern (now BNSF) train depot area. Mount St. Michael- rising the the northeast of Hillyard- has been the scene of fanatical religious separatists, one claiming to be Pope Adrian VII and perhaps a spiritual precursor to the Apocalypse. Among the businesses in Hillyard, there are stories of curses, witches and paranormal hauntings. Four serial killers (Robert Yates, John Craven, Douglas "Donna" Perry, and John Wayne Thompson) are associated with Hillyard. Is there a solution to Hillyard's troubled egregore and paranormal spiritual mindset?" -- back cover

For three years, Ruth has accepted her lot as pariah, focusing on her ailing mother and the children left in her care by the struggling single parents of North Falls, Vermont. But now the additional loss of her husband is too much to bear, and she has no choice but to overcome the darkness or be consumed by it. But as she edges closer to the truth, she begins to uncover some secrets that are better left buried. That's when she meets Milk Raymond, a war vet who comes home to find his nine-year-old son abandoned by his mother. Unable to find work, with no idea how to be a father, Milk turns to Ruth for help.

As these unsettled and interconnected lives hurtle towards a devastating conclusion, both Ruth and Milk are about to learn that their dying Vermont town has more secrets than they ever thought possible--and there are those who will do anything to protect them.
