Swami RiverDoris ParksSarahStefen's ghost
In "The Spirit of Swami River," a con man posing as a holy man preys on grieving widows—until his latest scam takes a terrifying turn when he promises to deliver money to the spirit of a dead husband, only to find himself vanishing into thin air when the spirit, true to its word, demands payment. Doris Parks and Sarah watch in disbelief as the swami’s deception unravels, leaving behind only the chilling presence of Stefen’s ghost.
