Baseball's ghosts

Dan Gordon, co-author of Cape Encounters: Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories, is researching a new book that will collect reports of ghostly encounters in ballparks. It sounds like a fun idea!

Their goal is not to authenticate or necessarily even endorse these
paranormal accounts. The ghost stories are merely a device through which
the book will examine the romance and mythology of baseball, its many
traditions, its history, the legacy of some of its more prominent and
colorful figures, and its ever-present connection to its past.

Dan Gordon would greatly appreciate hearing about any stories, leads, or
referrals you could share. Anything having to do with ghosts, curses, eerie
phenomena, and unexplained events in ballparks or associated with baseball
teams is welcome.
