About Us
Minda Powers-Douglas, founder and guide
Minda Powers-Douglas started QC Haunts & History in 2019. She loves ghost stories and learning about history--she seldom misses a chance to go on ghost tours wherever she travels. She’s also written three books about cemeteries and has spoken about cemetery history and art throughout the Midwest and beyond. Minda has had a interest in ghosts and all things spooky since she was a kid--realizing later in life that her childhood imaginary friend was not so imaginary after all. Since then she’s had many paranormal experiences including a ghost in her old apartment, visits from dead loved ones, and hitchhiking ghosts. She is also a librarian and artist.
