Vegas Ghosts - In Print
Back in 1996, when I was still living in England, I met a woman named Tracie Austin - an absolute dead-ringer for the singer with British rock-band, T’Pau. As Tracie only lived an hour or so drive from where I used to live, we would often travel together to local UFO gigs - as well as to the yearly conferences that were put on by the now sadly-closed UFO Magazine.
In addition, Tracie put on her own UFO conferences - and even had a couple of UFO experiences; including a profound “Flying Triangle” type sighting in the 1990s.
In 1999, we drove up to the annual LAPIS UFO Conference in the north of England, where Tracie met Jim Peters, a UFO investigator deeply involved at the time in the investigation of the “Rods” phenomenon.
Romance soon blossomed, and it wasn’t long before Tracie relocated to the U.S. - first to Los Angeles, and then to Las Vegas, where she and Jim still reside - and became Tracie Austin-Peters.
Of course, I didn’t envisage when Tracie moved to the U.S. that only a year or so later I would be doing likewise. But, life can be unpredictable, and that’s exactly what happened.
Today, I generally see Tracie about once a year - usually at Ryan Wood’s annual UFO Crash Retrieval Conference in Las Vegas.
But that’s not what I want to talk about. It’s slightly off-topic for a UFO blog; but I’m very pleased and proud to announce that Tracie has just had her first book published: Welcome to Haunted Las Vegas, Nevada.
As the blurb for the book states:
Got Ghosts? Las Vegas certainly has and many of them.

Thanks Nick. But referring to T’Pau as a rock band is a bit of a travesty. I only remember their song “Heart and Soul”- and it definitely wasn’t rocking.

Hey Ben:
LOL, you are indeed right! “Pop” is the word I should have used!
