Skeleton Creek Saga

I n 2006, author, Patrick Carman, visited the Sumpter Valley Dredge on a family vacation and developed a passion for it. Being inspired by the old dredge and the ghost-tales of Joe Bush, he decided to base his next novel on it. In 2009, Skeleton Creek, was published which was based on the frightening experiences of the two main characters, Sarah and Ryan, as they chased down the clues leading to Joe Bush, the ghost of the dredge.

The reader is treated to reading the thoughts and experiences that Ryan records in his journal and watching videos created by Sarah. Throughout Skeleton Creek, the reader must access a website and enter a password to watch a video created and narrated by Sarah about her experiences, discoveries, and fears about the dredge and old Joe Bush. Carman had all the videos shot at the Sumpter Valley Dredge.

T he sequel, Ghost in the Machine was published in 2009. The Crossbones was released in 2010. Carman hopes that the books will inspire the readers to visit the old dredge themselves.
