...cover this convention," gushed CNN's Jeff Greenfield, "were first drawn to it by John F. Kennedy?" When Haynes Johnson mentioned that Schlossberg is 42 - the same age as JFK when he was nominated in this very city! - PBS's panel of presidential historians gasped as if Jack's ghost had just pulled up and taken a swig of Michael Beschloss's coffee...
They're red herrings, naturally. The Spencer house really is ghost-ridden. But once that fact is established, What Lies Beneath begins to succumb to a common genre problem. When the haunt ceases to be a set of eerie manifestations and begins to take on shape and form, all the spooky fun tends to drain out of these pictures.

The residue of these stories has found its way into Kenan's fiction. In the short story Clarence and the Dead, the young title character demonstrates an unnerving gift of clairvoyance: "He told Sarah Phillips to stop fretting, that her husband forgave...
Except there will be no next year. Last week Reel.com's headquarters in Emeryville, Calif., was like a ghost town. Every last one of the site's 230 employees had got a pink slip the previous week. Some, in a rush or in disgust, hadn't even cleaned out their cubicles. Thorsen and 14 others remained as independent contractors, keeping the site running while its owner, Hollywood Entertainment, based in Portland, Ore., worked out the details of how to give it a decent burial...
