Just narrowly missing on out last week’s top stories was this one about a woman who has opened Ghost Whisperer Christian Spirit Gallery in Centralia. “The opening exhibition features 70 photographs that were selected from a collection of more than 100,000 images featuring faces of humans and animals that (owner Kristie) Choate has captured with a simple point-and-shoot digital camera. She calls the images spirits.”
