by Karen Frazier (Author) Avalanche of Spirits is part personal memoir and part historical account. It tells the true story of Karen Frazier's experiences at the site of the biggest avalanche disaster in the history of the United States. At least 96 people died in that avalanche on March 1, 1910. Nearly 100 years later, friends took Karen Frazier to visit the site of the Wellington disaster. What she experienced there changed her life forever. Karen - and many others - have come to believe that spirits still remain in the town of Wellington. Karen Frazier spent the summer and fall of 2009 visiting Wellington, researching the history of the avalanche and town, and interviewing people who have had unusual experiences there. Avalanche of Spirits: The Ghosts of Wellington is a unique combination of all three. Part historical account, part ghost story and part personal memoir, Karen weaves together the past and the present in a compelling story that will keep you spellbound. Cover photo by Patty Valdez.
