The Ghost of the Sundance Kid and Other Stories is a unique blend of frontier history, spiritual inquiry, and personal narrative, each infused with moral lessons and philosophical questions about the soul, justice, and the afterlife. Where did the idea for this book come from, and how did it develop over time?
The idea came from an unexpected event. While visiting a tourist site, I stayed behind after the group moved on, and took photographs of the living quarters of the Hole in the Wall outlaw gang. To my surprise, a phantom face appeared in one of the photographs. I had already invented “Biblical Parapsychology,” so decided to provide an explanation for this latest phenomenon. I’m not a ghost hunter, I’m a Judeo-Christian minister, and that is why I weave explanations from the Bible into my work. These apparitions just appear on their own in my camera.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
The main theme is to provide at least a partial answer to what happens to the soul when we die? Apparently heaven is not automatic, and some like this man remain earthbound. I would like people to ponder where it is they wish their soul to go when their physical body expires, as Shakespeare says, “come to dust.”
Did you find anything in your research of this story that surprised you?
I was surprised when pouring into extensive research into the life of Harry A. Longabaugh, the Sundance Kid. The more you look at his so called death in Bolivia, the more you realize it was a staged event. When evidence comes forward from several angles and sources, one can see the real picture forming.
What is the next book you’re working on, and when can readers expect it to be available?
The next book is forming, but I need knee surgery, am looking to improve my physical conditions first. Next book likely available in a year.
This book provides proof of the afterlife: a real ghost picture in chapter one is the basis of the story about the person in the photo. Three other true ghost and angel stories are given, followed by Biblical passages and Bible-based commentaries applicable to the accounts. Additionally, the book contains logic and reasoning references from Descartes and Plato relative to the supernatural experiences.
