The TV ghost : social and religious elements of KBYU's supernatural lore, 2005.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173600235

Dalrymple collects stories about supernatural experiences in the building that houses the KBYU television offices on Brigham Young University campus. He finds that many of these experiences illustrate Utah history or describe BYU culture. Dalrymple explains how these stories reinforce the worldview of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also discusses how these stories provide social control by encouraging employees not to stay at work after hours. He briefly analyzes the social aspect of co-workers sharing the stories.
