Book Description
Delbert Gray was an amateur photographer with a hunger for fame. The camera Delbert used was a cheap Kodak Instamatic. You can see why Delbert dreamed of owning a Nikon like his rich friend Michael. Michael would let his friend Delbert develop his pictures in his dark room while he was developing his own. Delbert envied Michael's photographs and would often close his eyes and daydream about being a famous photographer someday. Delbert was only fifteen years old. He wasn't old enough to get a job like his friend Michael and bring in a big paycheck. As Michael was puffing on his cigarette in the dark room developing his film beside Delbert, Michael would often make remarks about Delbert's photographs and tell him if he wanted to take pictures like him he needed to throw that cheap camera in the trash and buy one like his. Delbert replied with a lump in his throat "You know I don't have a job and my parents wouldn't even consider buying me a camera such as yours." Michael replied, "You know something Delbert, either you get a good quality camera or I'm going to ask you to stop developing your photographs in my dark room. Your photographs are pathetic." Delbert answered back in a sad tone of voice, "That wasn't a very nice thing to say to your friend." "I know, but it’s the truth and sometimes the truth hurts," exclaimed Michael. "Well let me tell you something Michael, I'm going to own a camera like yours someday and when I do you'll be jealous of me," said Delbert in a stern voice. Delbert took his Instamatic camera and photographs with him and told Michael he wouldn't be back to see him until he found that special camera. Michael just laughed and said to Delbert," Looks like I'll be in the old folks home when that happens." Delbert exited the dark room and slammed the door behind him, walked home, and threw his Instamatic camera at his bedroom wall. Delbert said, "What have I done, now I don't have a camera. What am I going to do now?" Delbert sat on his bed crying because he knew he had no way of replacing the Instamatic camera he had just broken. Delbert made up a story about how the camera broke, but his father just laughed and said," Are you out of your mind? You'll be able to get a job in about a year then you can buy yourself a new camera." Delbert's father turned away and told Delbert he didn't want to hear any whining about how I should buy him a new camera. Delbert yelled at his father saying," But Dad it was an accident." Delbert's father turned back around and kicked him in his rear end and slammed the door behind him. Delbert lay down on his bed and cried his eyes out the rest of the night. Morning came and Delbert wiped the remaining tears from his cheeks. Delbert took a deep breath and said a prayer. Delbert decided instead of lying in bed all day sulking about why his friend Michael would be saying I told you so. Delbert got dressed and grabbed an apple from the kitchen and a soda headed down the road on foot in search of that special camera. As Delbert was walking around the town square he came across an Antique shop that had an old bellows camera in the display window. Delbert said to himself, "If I could just have that camera I bet it would take better pictures than Michael's." Delbert slumped over with tears again flowing down his cheeks knowing in reality there was no way he could afford such a beautiful camera. Just as Delbert was walking past the Antique shop, an old man opened the door came up to Delbert, and said, "I noticed you were looking at that old camera in the window as if it belonged to you." Delbert answered, "Yes, Sir, I was only wishing. I knew in my heart I could not afford such a beautiful camera. Besides, I don't even have a job or any money to give you and my father told me the only way I could buy a new camera was to get a job next year. By that time your camera would be gone and I would be heartbroken once more. Well, I better be on my way, because if I don't get home soon my dad is going to whoop me." "Not so fast!” the old man said in a tender voice. I've never had anyone come by my shop and want any of my antiques like you have. I tell you what if you want the camera it’s yours to keep. Don't worry about the money your money is no good to me. There's only one condition. Bring me a copy of the photos you take. I have a scrapbook that I would like to place them in. That's all I ask of you. What do you say?" Delbert answered back eagerly, "Yes, Sir, Delbert started crying because his prayer had been answered.

Book Description
“When I was between the ages of five and eight, my sister and I slept in a large attic bedroom. At nightfall the room was filled with gypsies who glided around in clusters. They wore colorful thin flowing dresses and rummaged greedily through my drawers and books as if they would steal everything. I lay in bed as stiff as a board, trying to will myself invisible, praying they would not notice me looking . . . Daylight obliterated the gypsies, rendering them as thoroughly insubstantial as they had been real in the dark. I had a vague understanding that my vision was private, so I never told my family what I saw.” So began Corinne May Botz’s fascination with the invisible, a phenomenon that has profoundly influenced her approach to photography in style and subject matter. For more than ten years, she searched for ghost stories in buildings across the United States. She ventured into these haunted places with both camera and tape recorder in hand; her photographs, accompanied by first-person narratives, reveal a rare glimpse into American interiors, both physical and psychological. This book includes more than eighty haunted buildings, from the legendary to the ordinary, including Edgar Allan Poe’s house in Baltimore, a New Jersey tavern, and a Massachusetts farmhouse, a log cabin in Kentucky, and a number of private residences. The text includes ghost stories told to the author by those who lived through the moving rugs, creaking floors, apparitions, disappearing—and reappearing—objects, cries in the night, mysteriously burning candles, and other unexplained occurrences.
