Dressing up as a ghost tonight? Or communing with one? Ghost Feelings, by Lawrence writer Mick Cottin, shares insight into that whole haunting thing — from a ghost's perspective. It might help you get in character.

The story is one of three ghost stories that aired on Central Standard, during an exploration of scary stories and why we tell them. It is pretty short (5 minutes), and not too scary — in fact you may even laugh.

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
