Ghost hunting in Multnomah
Village simply a ploy to
bring in traffic
Regarding “Clyde Lewis goes ghost
hunting in the basement of Fat City
Café,” The Post, December 2012.
Just when I thought there was hope
for the human race. Besides the fact
that there is no such thing as ghosts.
The sad deaths of others is nothing
to groom a story over, not to mention
having to dig back to 1973 ... mean-

that there will be something there
besides old town mold.

small town “ghostly story.”
