Why ghost stories?
Ghosts stories at their core are about our relationships with history, place, and memory. The clear structure of the best stories draws me, and as an architect I am also fascinated by the memorable places that become charged with meaning – past, present, and future. These stories also have root in a long oral tradition, and since my earliest memories, my grandmother and father have told and read ghost stories. When I left for college in 1990, I decided to begin recording stories for my father, Dave Hampton, Sr., and have made it a tradition to record new tales every few years with original music. Go to a sampling of recordings.
