What could possibly be better that ghosts and books? That's what you'll find at Buckskin Booksellers. The store is located on main street, and has a chilling history. A young girl, Eller Day, was murdered here by a coworker at the adjoining Hotel Beaumont. The hotel was built in 1886. It was boarded up for 35 years, but restoration was begun on the hotel in 1964. During the time it was unused, people reported seeing the ghost of Eller and strange lights traveling from floor to floor of the hotel. The current owner of the bookstore has had some experiences of her own. She has heard knocking and banging from the back of the store and seen books come flying off of shelves. One day as two customers were checking out, three books flew off of the shelf behind them and positioned themself like this: book, customer, book, customer, book. No one was hit or hurt, but is was a startling experience. The unusual activity is more common in the winter months. The owner has also experienced the feeling that she was being watched when she was alone in the store.
