Sylvia Shults is the author of 44 Years in Darkness, Hunting Demons, Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital, and Ghosts of the Illinois River. She has spent the past nineteen years working in a library, slowly smuggling words out in her pockets day by day to build a book of her own. She sits in dark, spooky, haunted places so you don't have to. She lives a short, ten-minute motorcycle ride away from the haunted asylum that features in so many of her books. She considers it the highest privilege to share the incredible, compassionate history of the Peoria State Hospital.

After battling an intense, lifelong fear of the dark, Sylvia decided to become a ghost hunter. (What WAS she thinking?) As a paranormal investigator, she has made many media appearances, including a tiny part in the Ghost Hunters episode "Prescription for Fear", about the Peoria State Hospital.

Sylvia loves hearing from her readers, especially when they have spooky stories of their own to share with her. She can be found at www.sylviashults.com, and on Facebook at the pages for Fractured Spirits and Ghosts of the Illinois River.

Sylvia Shults has been a paranormal investigator for several years. She began her career as a ghost hunter as a result of doing the research for her nonfiction book, Ghosts of the Illinois River (Quixote Press, 2010). Her

fascination with ghosts dates back to her childhood. She is an avid reader who was raised on Grimm’s Fairy

Tales.

A few years ago, Shults was inspired to write a collection of people’s supernatural experiences at the Peoria

State Hospital in Bartonville, Illinois. This project quickly swelled into Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the

Peoria State Hospital. The book incorporates the history of the asylum as well as the many ghost stories that have

arisen out of the asylum’s abandonment.

The book, and Shults’ research, was featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters (“Prescription

for Fear”, which aired January 30, 2013).
